RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012  I've been over and over these pictures and I'm only seeing one ducky. I'm probably totally wrong! But I guess go ahead and lock me in with one ducky.  ^ I'm worried too! I also only saw 1 Ducky...! ^Was that a lock-in you wanted? Let me know if it wasn’t.  I'm going to say 3 duckies, very hard to find a couple of them. Lock in my duckies.  Lock me in with two duckies!! Still somewhat worrisome though...  Ok lock me in with 1 ducky.  I can't help but feel there are more ducks , but I've been over these pictures multiple times. Lock me in for 2 ducks, please!  I think I saw 2 duckies, so lock me in!  With my crappy vision, I only spotted one ducky- Lock me in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffyTiffy Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 There was one I wasn't sure of, but I'll take the risk and count it. My final guess is 2 duckies! Great report Big Mike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mike Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hello Valuable Big Mike Readers!!!!  Today's episode is one of the bigger and better places to visit while riding roller coasters!  Big Mike was out in South Dakota heading to Boondocks to ride the coaster there when he made a slight detour to go check out one of the things on Big Mike's "Top 50 Always Wanted To Do List", MOUNT RUSHMORE!!!!  After arriving during the evening hours to a jam packed crowd, Big Mike arranged with the Park Rangers for a special VIP tour of Mount Rushmore all on his own the next day!! Luckily, the Park Rangers were HUGE Big Mike Road Show Fans, so they were cool with the ERT (Exclusive Rushmore Time).  The Park Rangers set up a behind the scenes tour, a meet and greet with an original driller, and an up close hike to the top, all with no general public allowed in until Big Mike was done!   Hope you enjoy!   Peace, Big Mike    Mount Rushmore!!!!!! A very nice night view, glad we did a day and night visit! Mount Rushmore all lit up, but too many people for The Big Man's liking!  A quick chat with the Park Rangers and......... ..... Big Mike is back the next day with a Super VIP Escort with no general public in sight! Another thing on Big Mike's Top 50 Always Wanted To Do List is taken care of!! This is Gutzon Burglum, sculpter of Mount Rushmore as well as Stone Mountain in Georgia! You can find out things like this during your VIP Guided Tour! Other things you find out if you are a VIP is that there is a flag for every state flying here!  Big Mike can't believe he is allowed to get this solo shot! Big Mike is either signaling a touchdown or is squashing the four heads together! There is no way in the World to take a picture like this if the general public is around! Big Mike as a fifth head on Mount Rushmore???? George Washington! Thomas Jefferson! Theodore Roosevelt! Abraham Lincoln! The special VIP tour continued to the museum, where Big Mike was treated to seeing the scale model of Mount Rushmore! The finished product!  Scroll back and forth between the picture above this one and this one, it is an identical match! Mount Rushmore is fun to see, but not as much fun being this far away!  Ready for a Big Mike Only Allowed Hike to the Top??? During the hike, this is the only time you get to see stuff like this, trees growing right out of the rocks! Big Mike hikes up a little closer! Big Mike snaps a photo half way up while still full of energy! I guess this is why unexperienced hikers are not allowed up here! Big Mike better watch his footing here!! So far, so good! Oh baby, only a little way to go!!! Ahhhh, so close yet still so far!  Big Mike just wanted to touch his face, but it was just too tall to climb the bottom wall!  Pretty great view though, right???? As if that wasn't the coolest thing ever, Big Mike got a meet and greet with one of the ORIGINAL drillers of Mount Rushmore, Nick Clifford! What a great day at Mount Rushmore!!!  Thanks to the Park Rangers and all the Valuable Big Mike Readers for the constant support!  Hope you enjoyed!  Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 ^That's super cool that you got to hike up there! I visited Mt. Rushmore with my dad in 2009, and it was kinda disappointing with how far away it was to see. Although we got to see goats in the forest by the path.

sspaz1000 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Seeing mount Rushmore like this now definitely makes me want to add this to my bucket list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighRoller Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 It's been many, many years since my one and only visit to Mt. Rushmore - good to see it hasn't changed! Â I've sorta always wished that they'd finished the Lincoln carving, like in the model, though. Still very cool to sculpt that with dynamite, though!

RoCo Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Agreed with many above; this is definitely a bucket list place to see. Really looks amazing. Â Hoping someone will someday carve Mount SkyRushMore. Â (But seriously, wouldn't "Mount Rushmore" be a great name for a coaster in some Americana themed park section? Holiday World's 4th of July area?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollercoaster Rider Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Would be a good name for 1 of 2 things: Â 1- Indoor Coaster 2- Family Area like former Lost World at Kings Dominion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
