Travel Trivia: Can you guess the answer to the following question?

06-13-2003, 07:40 PM

I am starting a new thread, which will be a trivia to test all of your knowledge based on the facts. You will see the questions, which I post here, and try to guess what the answers are. I will give the person 5 points for correctly guessing the city, 10 points if the person correctly guesses exactly what it is. 1 point for guessing the correct state.

Note: If you do not know where it is, please do not post to say that you don't know. Leave it alone.

First Question:
At this famous monument located in South Dakota, you can see the faces of four US presidents.

Good Luck
