Quick story: We decided to take a Sunday hike at the base of Mount Rushmore. We had not yet gone into the park because we were saving it for another day, but as we were driving around looking for a trail head we spotted a glimpse of the monument and thought we might be able to get a closer look from outside of the park. As we ventured up the mountain we spotted a couple of tepees. Before we knew it....we were INSIDE the National Monument itself! Honestly, there were no signs posted anywhere! The park rangers saw us and thought we were a part of a tour group so we had to look like we belonged. They escorted us to another viewing spot in the park and that's when we knew.......security should be increased! Just a little family of four out for a Sunday hike, ends up trespassing illegally! We decided we had to go back out the way we came in even though it was now roped off! "On three..... 1, 2, RUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNN!" We ran down the hill as fast as we could trying to get back to the car. Breven's red shirt was far from camouflage, but it was my screaming, "START THE CAR, START THE CAR" that gave us away. No arrests were made. We didn't make the 5 O'clock news, but we did feel like we were starting in the movie National Treasure 2! Another thing to state for the record: We went back and paid the next day! It's always an adventure with the BTBB FAM.
