Salvation Mountain

Salvation Mountain 

Leonard Knight spent over 28 years crafting Salvation Mountain by splotching layer after layer of paint on top of adobe. Leonard originally used concrete but the concrete crumbled several years into the project. Rather than be discouraged, Leonard resolved to "do it with more smarts" and began experimenting with adobe -- a mixture of clay and straw. 

The mountain is an impressive work of folk art that proclaims a message dear to Leonard: God is Love.

Bombay Beach

Bombay Beach was once a vacation destination community on the shores of California's Salton Sea. Today it is about a quarter square mile of abandoned ruins and occupied trailer homes.

Hong Kong Restaurant

The Hong Kong Restaurant in Florence, Arizona, offers some of the best Chinese food I've encountered in central Arizona. The friendly service and great price make it even better. I now have a good reason to go through Florence.

My only complaint is that they are far away from my home. ;)
