Mount Rushmore at Night
“Illuminated by three banks of lights (about 150,000 watts) the faces of four great presidents, carved on a granite mountain, stand out in awesome splendor against the deep blue of the night sky.”
I spent the 4th of July, 1987 here and sent this card to Aunt Brenda. It is postmarked from Newcastle, Wyoming, just across the border from Mount Rushmore. Why Wyoming? Because I was a young airman at the time, and the drinking age in Wyoming was still 18.
