=South Dakota and Other Facts=

South Dakota is home to many famous sites like the Badlands or Mt. Rushmore. Here are some facts of some of S.D. mounds. The heads of Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota are as tall as a six-story building. If you matched them with bodies, the men with those heads would be three times as tall as the Statue of Liberty! That`s very tall. Also the gold rush was done there! Well... most of it. Speaking of the gold rush in South Dakota. Some would-be miners get tricked by... "Fool`s Gold,"which look like the real thing. If you want to tell the difference, try pressing your fingernail into the surface. If it leaves a small indent, you`ve found gold!!!
