  • Continuing my travels through beautiful South Dakota, I check out Mt. Rushmore during the sunrise and take you down to the lesser known trail and into the cave below the presidents. Then check out the amazing Mammoth Site where tons of huge prehistoric mammals drowned 26,000 years ago. From there I travel back into Nebraska and stumble across The Toadstools ! Incredible area. Hope you love this Oddments Vlog!

      Mobile Instinct - are the random horses the same as regular horses? Not sure why they was called random horses. Also the designer of mt rushmore died before completion thats why only the heads where done.

      How about doing a vlog on Crazy Horse monument. All four of the heads here can fit in the head of crazy horses horse.. And you can walk out on the outstretched arm of Chief Crazy Horse. It is being built totally by donation. Rushmore was built with Government funding.

    You managed to get quite a bit of quality stuff in a short time. I am having to really wrap my brain around the idea that Rushmore was created with jackhammers and dynamite! What an accomplishment. Loved the mammoth site and the toadstools too. That old town was quite scenic. Thanks so much for this.

    I grew up in Hot Springs. The mammoth site was quite the discovery in its day. Clearing land for building houses is how the bones were first discovered. The old plywood shack that used to cover it, which they did give tours in, was nothing compared to what it is today. Buffalo Gap was my home more recently, (though not now) The Church was converted to a home within the last five years. The first old building you videoed used to be a gas station and convenience store around the late eighties early nineties. I won't give the owners name but they still live nearby. The next building around the corner was the original store owned by an elderly couple who ran it until their death back in the seventies, efforts have been made to keep it standing while preserving the front wall and appearance. The woman's name was Dorothy, a very nice woman. City Hall was once a bank. Did you notice the large sandstone building on the hill? That was the school at one time, Kind through 8th grade. Now converted into a house, the inside is awesome. I believe it's for sale for around 750,000 dollars last I heard. Glad you made it out here and happy you enjoyed Mt Rushmore. It's in my backyard... sort of...

  • @drew-shourd
    @drew-shourd Před 4 lety

    Another great video, Thanx Chris....ya Pam, Lean v.... that is what I know to be true also. During the initial blasting to start this colossal project, TNT took down some huge pieces of the mountain, falling together, making a 'space' between them, not really a cave as Webster's defines. But that didn't stop the National Park Service from making it into a tourist spot...pretty cool view from there for sure.

  • @lidymaehoward6726
    @lidymaehoward6726 Před 4 lety

    There is another cave up on top. My Aunt and Uncle used to go there back in the 40’s and 50’s. They said it was possible to go into the cave up there and when you came to one spot you could look out one President’’s eye. Now you need to go back.

    The toadstool rock formations reminded me of a few construction site dump zones I've encountered. That, said; it also looks like lake bottom sediment (the Wikipedia entry is sparse on info). Most likely - probably around the end of glaciation approximately 10,000 years ago there would have been a lake in the area. It could have been fed by the glacial melt. When the glaciers went away, so did the lake.

    The Black Hills and the surrounding area is always a favorite place to vacation in. But every time I go, there's one or two places I haven't been to. Tried to go to Wonderland Cave but they were closing just as I came in :/ The Mammoth Site is awesome, isn't it? I loved it when I went there. I think some of the mammoths have names, there's one named Napoleon Boneaparte if I remember.
