U.S.A : swap

I received 5 different postcards from different USA state as Ginnysv offer for swap. luckily this envelope safely arrived into my mailbox without lost its contains even its teared on 3 sides as shown below.


And here are the postcards that i received.

Idaho, Clearwater river.

This beautiful river is home to Idaho's greatest sport fish, the Stellhead Trout. Thousands make their way back from Pacific each year to spawn in the Clearwater's many contributaries.



Devils tower, National monument.

Rising some 1200 feet above the valley floor, the tower is visible from miles in any direction. The many columns on its side were formed over 60 milion years ago, as molten magma forced its way into overlying sedimentary rock and cooled underground.

Montana, Decision point.

This beautiful overlook is located near the town of Loma, Montana. This section of the Missouri River meets the Marias river. from this stunning vantage point one can imagine the Corp of Discovery camped below. Their decision took 10 days to decide which river would lead them to the northwest passage.

Oregon, Wallowa Mountains.

Mount Rushmore, Black Hills of South Dakota.

This huge carving is located 2 miles from Keystone, South Dakota. about a 30 minute drive from Rapid City. gutzon Borglum started this massive project in 1972 and worked on it until his death in 1941. His son Lincoln finished the task.
