Day 78 - 82, Mount Rushmore, Shrine to Democracy

With a little more than a week before my MikroTik Training in Denver, we side stepped over to Mount Rushmore for some time off and an opportunity to check off another item on my proverbial bucket list. Billed as the Shrine to Democracy, Mount Rushmore or at least the creation of it is certainly a shrine to dedication. Although I was a bit disappointed at its physical size (in my school books it looked much larger), when you imagine the amount of rock that had to be removed and the precision and art required to do it, well, that is certainly impressive. Along with Mount Rushmore, it was mostly relaxing time, answering a few MikroTik support calls, taking an afternoon to go throw some flies at the Wyoming trout (none of which cooperated I might add) and taking some time to plan the remaining weeks of the Roadshow. Next we will spend a few days killing time in Estes Park before dipping down to Denver for the next class.
