Four important men for the United States

Mount Rushmore! Finally here! This sculpture is amazing and big to! Many people maybe wonder who these four men carved in this mountain are. Well, it's George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincolm, four very important men in the United States history!
Due to its fame as a monument, Mount Rushmore is frequently discussed in media, film and popular culture. 
The large carved faces has also became a target for parodies and other symvolic alterations. It's for example very popular to replace the faces of the four presidents with other people or characters, or the addition of another face. 
The flora and fauna of Mount Rushmore is similar to the rest of the Black Hills region of South Dakota. Here we can find birds like turkey vulture and bald eagle. Other animals include mouses, chipmunks, squirrels and many others. Futhermore, several species of frogs and snakes can be found here!
Well, the flora and fauna of this region may be interesting but that's not what we came for!
Now we're going back to Rapid City for some rest, soon we're off to Sweden again. It's very miserable, we want to stay here forever!
