On December 17, 2014 Stephen and I stopped off at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota while on our Papa.Bravo.Fourteen road trip. I was very excited to finally visit Mount Rushmore. I have driven near Mount Rushmore several times in the past, but never stopped. Each time I drove by it, I said "next time"...well it took 10 years till that next time finally came.
Early on in the planning of the road trip, I knew Mount Rushmore would be a destination this time. I wasn't about to let another 10 years go by before finally getting to see it.
As far as construction goes, it took nearly 14 years of hard work and dedication to create this amazing piece of artwork in the granite hillside. Amazingly, there were no fatalities during the blasting and carving of this memorial (1927-1941).
Mount Rushmore is a sight to behold. If you ever get the chance to see it, I suggest you do it. To learn more about Mount Rushmore, please click here: Mount Rushmore

please click here: BAG Products World Map. We are blessed to have so many people around the globe rocking Bourn Adventure Gear. We wanted a way to personally thank them for their order.
Our solution was to create Bourn Adventure postcards. This allowed us the opportunity to give each order a personal touch while continuing to share adventures from all over the world. We breathe new life in our postcards by periodically changing destinations and showcasing new locations. Each postcard series is assigned a number and runs for a limited time. Once that particular postcard is gone, it is done!
We selected the Acadia National Park to be featured as our BA 2019 postcard series #8 and just like the postcard before it, it was a big hit! Customers have told us of conversations generated by the postcards hanging on their refrigerator or in their office. Hearing that something so simple could spark curiosity and encourage adventure brings a smile to our faces.
