Every road trip needs superpowers, and ours is no exception. K-Os elaborates:
We are, in fact, about to embark on a significant journey, manifesting our superhuman abilities for the purpose of maximizing the American experience:
THE RECORDER [aka, Ben], who can use his uncanny ability to capture exact quotes, locations, and situations in his super-human memory.
DR. DATA [aka, Pat C.], who can use computer and web wizardry to assist any in need or dazzle and defeat any foe.
K-Os [aka, Ant K.], whose organic, pseudo-artsy randomness can both confuse and distract while important subversive and strategic activities unfold.
Together, gentlemen, we are the ultimate superhero team of the 21st century, and it will be a pleasure to collaborate with you in this endeavor to unlock the best of America and share Her glory in this unparalleled symbiosis between man and nation.
The car is cleared out for us, and freshly serviced for thousands of miles.
The time of the grand adventure to Mt. Rushmore is nigh.
I would also add that THE RECORDER’s Tascam is instrumental in helping out with his superpower.
The Road to Mt Rushmore, 2010 
The deepest, clearest, bluest sky in the world is over Mt. Rushmore. What are you three superheroes planning to do to Mt. Rushmore once you get there?
I think we’re going to take a picture and then get some lunch.
Liz, I promise we are not going to try to carve a mini-Mt.-Rushmore of Los Hombres anywhere NEAR that great monument.
But a little patriotic genuflection never hurt anyone, right?
