Two cold tourists pose in front of Mount Rushmore.
Mount Rushmore construction was started in 1937 by Gutzon Burglum. In March 1941, Burglum died and his son Lincoln Burglum took over. Construction stopped due to lack of funding in October 1941.
Originally the plan was to carve the presidents from head to waist. The presidents are from left to right: George Washingon, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.
The closest Marlon will ever come to being the President of the United States...

It was time to say goodbye; we were cold and hungry.
These guys had found something to eat next to the road at Mount Rushmore.
