Mount Rushmore National Memorial

[@komradebob]

The evening lighting ceremony is incredibly beautiful and moving. I strongly recommend it to anyone.

[@jamesburba1995]

I married a girl from The Black Hills in '69.......Best move I ever made in my life. We're still together, and lovin' every minute of it !

[@WreckDiver99]

I will never forget the first time I ever saw Mt. Rushmore. I was just a kid and was "WHY do I want to see 4 presidents carved into the rock"...WOW...It was awe inspiring. I highly recommend seeing them light it at night. It is just AMAZING. The presentation they do is just incredible.

[@josephmagedanz4070]

Great Faces, Great Places!

[@ralphnorman4636]

I pulled into mt Rushmore at 7 am. Was driving all night to deliver a moving load of household goods to Toronto. Empty parking lot, no one there. wandered around for a few minuits then continued on.GREAT EXPERIENCE.

[@terrysosinsky1915]

Enjoy your travels. Abby reminds me so much of my late wife. Her laugh and enthusiasm in every adventure. She also had hats or tee shirts from every place we traveled to. Keep the positive attitudes.

[@grafixbyjorj]

Every time Abom goes somewhere I've been, it make me glad I went 30 years ago before it all got so Disneyfied

[@MrSaxojes]

Great couple! Great videos! Glad you are enjoying your Big Haul! You two should have over a million subscribers, one of the best travel related channels on YT

[@petecaluori5939]

Adam & Abby have a great time! You're bringing me back to when I was there about 20 years ago! I'm still in Colorado, but those areas are special!

[@hertharay4583]

Love your adventures. Can not travel currently but you two are the next best thing. Safe travels. Also love your cooks

[@aquablue3803]

I've been there twice beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@donaldshulman6771]

Never been to Mt. Rushmore, but now I feel as if I was there!!

[@mannys9130]

Beautiful! I love South Dakota. These videos have made me want to visit so badly. The quiet in the Badlands...incredible. I love peace and quiet in nature.

[@bartjustbart189]

Again you guys hit it out of the park. Your Lady is right, you can't NOT be patriotic there! I did that trip myself probably before either of you kids were born... Seeing your video brought back memories of heading West to my grandparents with my Dad in an old Chevy. I was just a kid but that place was magical... Than you to the Booths!

[@rhodysweet]

Super cool! Thanks for sharing. God Bless the USA!!!!

[@wldott]

If you have time go to Crazy Horse as well I think you will really enjoy it.

[@jerrysgaragethemoneypit2028]

awesome we did this visit in 2016 and want to go back.

[@sherriewilson4379]

We live in Iowa and head to the Blackhills every summer to camp it’s truly beautiful.

[@waynec3121]

That was incredible thankyou

[@maureenizuno2329]

At one point of our travels you guys were ahead of us and suggested that "around the bend which did.

[@MadDawg91108]

Welcome to my backyard, Adam and Abby.... so glad you are enjoying my state.

[@lonwillis783]

😲 WOW NICE! 👍

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Very impressive

[@corajewell8798]

I love watching your travels! Even though you all are probably about my same age, I feel like I'm watching my aunt and uncle. LOL! That is a compliment, I swear!

[@aquablue3803]

So so beautiful ❤️

I love the Black Hills. Been to long since I've been there. Lot's of stuff to see and do. South Dakota is amazing state. Thanks for taking us along.

[@colinkuntz7907]

Beer and ice cream at the same time. :) I'll have a vanilla Banquet please. :)

[@rodneywroten2994]

So So beautiful

[@dennisolson3667]

About 30 years ago me and my roomate were hired for a day of carrying CNNs equipment to the top for a presidents day broadcast. The cameraman was afraid of heights and sat back from the edge when not filming.

[@bearsrodshop7067]

Felt like we were right there with you guy's,,thx, this was awesome. Bucket list adventure for sure, Bear & Sammie.

[@kimburnham2045]

🇺🇸 Absolutely beautiful! 🇺🇸

[@ron4jon]

This is a BIG, BIG, THANK YOU for this video visit. We have never been able to visit here ourselves. Y'all provided an awesome video tour and I don't remember seeing a better one. The only other NP we haven't visited is Glacier NP.

[@AbomAdventures]

You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed it.

[@jeffkeller1669]

me and my family went there when I was a kid back in the 1970's. Awesome place to be!

[@dominicwroblewski5832]

AWESOME !

[@VacFink]

Your not far from Devil's Tower (Famous from the movie Close Encounters) in WY, just a couple hours and can't recommend it enough. If you do go, there's a side gravel road near the tower itself. Its short and not a bad road. Don't skip it, it takes you to the best view of the tower.

[@glines]

I am a fan of your other channel and have been for a while. I just started watching this channel and I think it’s great. What a delightful couple the two of you are. You are great together

[@CharlesAnsman]

You took the words right out of my mouth, I was moments away from posting the exact same thing

[@elwynsmith5092]

Great video A lot of improvements sense i was there in 1974 -i need to this National Park again , for sure !!

[@1hasbeen531]

Best Mt. Rushmore RV video I've seen. Some make it sound like a let-down. Great job! Definitely on my list.

[@philipquinlan1045]

Wonderful. Thanks for sharing. I would also recommend a visit to the Crazy Horse Memorial which is about 40min drive from Mt Rushmore. Equally compelling. Started in 1948, still a work in progress but very inspiring.

[@jerrycur]

Glad your enjoying your visit being frim Sturgis I think its cool to see you guys in my area have fun

[@huckleberryadventures2711]

When we went there was a lighting storm in the hills. Very cool!

[@RobertPerrigoOkiechopper]

Abby, Adam, Thank you so very much, a lot has changed over the years. And again I hope you get bt Hot Springs and visit the Hot spring swimming that's inside and outside as well. I lived there back in 1973 during the winter.

[@noiseislife]

We just returned from a week in the black hills, we could have run into you, lol.

[@travelingourway7555]

So love the videos and decided hey let’s change plans and picked up in Sioux Falls from Oklahoma and following your trip.

[@mmrbeef]

I'm glad it looks like you had a great time in SD. I am a FL native and have lived in SD for the last 5 years. Welcome. We live on the Eastern side of the state but try and make it out to the Black Hills once or twice a year and we still have not run out of stuff to do.

[@johniecole5437]

I was there in 2018. It looks like they have done some renovations since then. The state flags used to be mounted on stone columns. I like the new look. I'm not sure where you guys are headed but Devil's Tower is worth a look. Sturgis and Deadwood are cool just so you can say you've been there. It's awesome that you two are able to do this together. Have fun.

[@lynnbarrett5529]

I missed you guys again, 4 days at Round the Bend Steakhouse and now 2 days at Mt. Rushmore, I’ll keep my eyes opened watching out for you guys, you didn’t say if you had any ice cream, Thomas Jefferson’s vanilla?

[@garylarue6501]

Hi Adam & Abby! Great video! ...One of your Best! That trail up to the monument is awesome! I wonder how long it took to build it? Best Wishes, And GOD BLESS! Gary

[@johnduke9894]

Great video, again! There's a helicopter tour down the road toward Crazy Horse that's well worth the time, effort and money...

[@seannewton8386]

My wife and I were there at the same time. Our camper shows up in background of one of your shots, and I think I spotted my wife and I in the background of another shot.

[@mannys9130]

Awesome! Did you get to say hi to Adam and Abby? Did you see them walking around at all? It's a small world, I'm telling ya. 😸

[@seannewton8386]

@@mannys9130 I never even noticed them, as I discovered this channel after I came back from the trip. But it really is a small world. Cool.

[@cchambersglenn]

Awesome video. We will be there in May!

[@tonynagy2042]

That was very cool guys... CHeers... WOW...

[@KSMike1]

It’s nice to see it this way. The one time I’ve been there was in the middle of the 75th anniversary Sturgis rally (unbeknownst to me while planning the trip). Talk about peoply…

[@davesherwin7321]

Visited in the mid 90s not sure if the trail /walkway was there thinking it wasn’t . Trip through the park getting there was so nice and scenic as I remember it. Did also visit the Indian sculpture nearby which at the time operated off of donations would love to revisit area again . Thanks for video .

[@chkwgn460]

Very nice!! I went there twice in my semi. They consider it an RV. It was really cool. I was hoping you would find the trail that goes closer to the mountain. I went to the right and don't remember that many stairs lol

[@chkwgn460]

Oh yea, the ice cream is really good!!!

[@jedipanda333]

Awesome video! Have fun y'all, travel safe!

[@gregprince2523]

what a memorable trip!!

[@ifish5409]

Been many years since I was there and looks to have changed a lot. I don’t recall all of the upfront buildings and such. But still just as majestic. Looked like a nice time of the day to go as well.

[@JakeAikens]

Great video! It really looks different up close. I didn't realize how uneven they were. In the pictures it always looks kinda flat. Great perspective. Still gotta see it in person someday though.

[@richb313]

Thanks for taking us along. You two sure got your exercise today with all that walking. Bet you both worked up an appetite.

[@davidandrew1078]

Was top of my Bucket List for decades and finally went there on a trip, I am from Australia. Went with a lady and her family from Nebraska, and tells me it is locally known as, "The Faces".

[@davidandrew1078]

Takes me back.

[@chriswalker7691]

Are you going to see the crazy horse monument too?

[@mannys9130]

I was going to ask this as well! 😺

[@lorenlieder9789]

Amazing what people can build and sculpture when they work together. I am sure there are some groups in this country that would like it if the Mount Rushmore monument was removed. I hope it never comes to that It would be a tragedy.

[@12345NoNamesLeft]

I'm really surprised it's not covered in red paint by now.

[@Fairchildflyer]

The first time I was there was in the fifties, there was nothing there. we have been there several times. last in 2017. you can't help wonder it would look like if he had finished it...

I hope you’re going to Custer State Park, and also the Crazy-horse monument and museum also great .

[@neillsmart213]

Visited in 2006. Nice place, nice people. But not being American bred, I guess I didn't have the same appreciation that you guys did. Will go back one day - I hope ...

[@emilduba853]

Well it's like this- The Government will never allow monuments like this this to ever be made again so enjoy them while they still exist

[@beverlymurray6554]

Thank you! I have always wanted to see this memorial.

[@1722521795]

Always wanted to see this in person had no idea that there were so many different views of it, now I want to see it even more. Thank you guys for sharing this.

[@MoondyneJoe]

Adam and Abbey, isn't or wasn't there a carving started nearby of one of your Indian chiefs on a horse? It would be great if you could find and show us that as well please Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺

[@frankconley9715]

Crazy horse.

[@MoondyneJoe]

@@frankconley9715 yup that's the man,

[@mannys9130]

Yep! The Crazy Horse Monument is what you're thinking of, and it was started not too far away from Mt. Rushmore. The Lakota Indians really did not want Mt. Rushmore to be built. The federal government gave all of that land and those mountains to the Lakota Indians permanently in a treaty in the late 1800s. When it was found that there was gold in the area, the government took the privilege of changing their mind 🙄 and stole the land back again for themselves. That's why Mt. Rushmore was able to be built at all, and the Lakota begged to not build it on their sacred mountains. Nobody cared about what the Indians said or wanted back then. :( Crazy Horse Monument would be much larger than Mt. Rushmore when finished. To be truthful, Mt. Rushmore isn't finished either! The sculpting was meant to go down to the presidents' waistlines. 😯 It just wasn't ever completed to that degree.

[@MoondyneJoe]

@@mannys9130 thanks Manny( I am in Western Australia) I vaguely remembered seeing a doco many years ago about it but had forgotten the details, it just came to mind when Adam and Abbey went to Mt Rushmore. I suppose by the time they possibly review these comments and had posted this video they will be to far past the area to backtrack. It is a shame both of our countries didn't appreciate the original inhabitants more, I'm sure we both would live in vastly different countries... Thanks for your explanation, muchly appreciated Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺 😁

[@thomasr.3592]

My sister and went to see it. While we were looking at it Deb asked me who they're names. So I said Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Bob Barker. One of the rangers was walking by and she started laughing and said it's not Bob Barker it's Thomas Jefferson. That was my South Dakota hummer coming out of me. I never get tired of visiting the Black Hills. Spearfish canyon is another place to visit.

[@SPDLTD]

Did you find the Masonic gold?!!!

[@billbehrens4487]

No stickers?

[@H4rleyBoy]

It seems a lot smaller than I've seen eleswhere.

[@jrneff9773]

i think that is granite like the shop tables are. maybe wrong

[@mannys9130]

Yep, granite for sure. Not sure which subtype of granite specifically, but it's definitely a granite mountain.

[@Craneman4100w]

Go there in July or August and it's packed with people. There is a cave you can walk through just under the heads on the left. Don't forget Wind Cave and Hot Springs and the indoor Mammouth archeological dig. They're just a hand full of miles further south from the heads and a must-see. Ask about the donkeys, I forget what road they are on, bring a loaf of bread for an experience you will cherish forever, then stop at the Crazy Horse Monument. Don't let the kids fool around with the mining equipment or they holler at you :-D

[@mannys9130]

I believe the cave/tunnel was meant to be a vault containing historical documents and an explanation to future inhabitants what the monument was for and who the subjects actually were in case everyone forget about the US. It'll take 2.5 million years for the noses to wear away completely from erosion. Consider 500,000 years for it to be eroded enough that the people are unrecognizable, and that's a loooooooong time. The US won't be around anymore at that point, that's for sure, and nobody will care about these 4 men.

[@gregprince2523]

Sure is something ain't it!!! Standing there and lookin up there is just not enough words to describe the feelings you get. Ah I wish you would have stayed for the veterans recognition.

I went there after seeing weeks of natural beauty in other parts of the west. As impressive as it was, the artificial nature of It just felt wrong. I came away understanding the Lakota point a view a little better.

Isn’t it odd how most parks and gov offices only want to take cash?

Room next to Lincoln to put Trump the peoples president. Thanks guys ill never get there and this is just super.

[@mannys9130]

Lol. More than half of the US would join the Lakota in protest to demolish the entire thing if you did that...

[@Garth2011]

Very cool...too bad everything built with tax money still requires admittance fees for parking etc. It never ends.

[@TheRevWillNotBeTelevised]

Not really my thing, as I'm not American. Although I can understand as you are very nationalistic people. But interesting to see. Much prefer the natural beauty of the badlands personally. Looking forward to your next stop! Keep it coming.

[@mannys9130]

Understandable why the individuals depicted are not of much significance to a foreigner. Still though, is it not fascinating to a foreigner regardless of subjects due to the simple feat of engineering and construction involved? It's a 4-person sculpture in a mountain! 😺 Blasted bit by bit, and hand carved by men dangling from ropes in the early 1900s! It's really amazing that it exists at all and it's fascinating how it came to be, even if the presidents don't mean much to you. The same way I'd love to see Big Ben, the Kremlin, Christ the Redeemer, Hagia Sophia, Auschwitz, St. Peter's Basilica, the Burj Khalifa, 1 of the 4 copies of the Magna Carta, etc. I'm not British, so Big Ben and the Magna Carta don't really mean a whole lot to me other than the Magna Carta's influence on my country's Constitution and my Bill of Rights protections. I'm not Russian, so the Kremlin means nothing to me. I'm not religious whatsoever, so Christ the Redeemer in Brazil, the Hagia Sophia, and St. Peter's Basilica mean nothing to me either. I'm not Jewish nor German, but I'd still like to pay respects and witness Auschwitz with my own eyes, as I'm quite a WW2 history buff and it's important not to forget that it operated not even 100 years ago. I'm not a citizen of the UAE so the Burj Khalifa means nothing to me. Unfortunately, since I'm gay I will likely never be able to see the Burj Khalifa or the Kremlin in person myself. :( Oh well. These things are all foreign to me, but they are all very interesting and have historical or technological significance to mankind so I'd love to say I was there to see them in person.

[@23Skadoosh]

Just enough space to put Trump up there

[@TheRevWillNotBeTelevised]

Yes, for all of his achievements like ummm... ummmmm. The attempted coup? The err thing... which was err great I guess.

[@adbellable]

i think they are going to put trump on the backside

[@mannys9130]

Maybe put his backside on the backside, with a microphone. 😸 Got my vote the first time, but Jorgensen got it instead the second time. Sad who we get a choice to pick from out of 320,000,000 people.
