Mount Rushmore Patriots

This was actually from last year and I never ended up posting it, but it's pretty funny how we ended up doing this so I though I'd share it anyway even though it's wayy outdated now. 

Tyler (Ryan's brother) called Ryan up I believe it was a Wednesday and asked if we had wanted to ever visit Mount Rushmore, Ryan being the patriot he is, of course said yes. So they started to try and plan when they were going to make the trip and after trying a few dates and not having them work out, Tyler suggested...how about Friday? And Ryan's response was... why not! So two days later we ventured to good old South Dakota and saw the lovely Mount Rushmore...it was much smaller than we had anticipated, but still pretty dang incredible., We then visited a little diner where the waitress was a little buzzed for sure and slightly hitting on Ryan and Tyler (she gave us a discount so obviously it was worth it :). She said all her friends call her "Dakota Deb!" She was the perfect gem. Then we went to a water hole called "The Hippy Hole" which was this little waterfall and pond set back a few miles in the middle of this crazy forest. We did some rock jumping and some swimming and then hiked on back out. But on our way out we realized there was a bunch of poison oak everywherrrre and Ryan and I are both deathly allergic. So we go to their little gas station and got some soap and then we found another little lake/pond and had to scrub ourselves down (sorry environmentalist :/) Once we were all clean we were on our way back home! It was quite the 36 hours.
