I pulled in next to the eucalyptus trees and got out and wandered around Saturday when I was heading to Temecula. Unfortunately, I was delayed right away because there was a 2-car auto accident up on Highway 74, right above Palm Desert. Cars had stopped and some were turning around. After shouting at a couple of drivers, I learned that ALL lanes were closed due to the accident and that paramedics, fire trucks, and CHP cars weren't even there yet. So, I, too, turned around and drove home. I passed 2 fire trucks, 3 CHP cars, and an ambulance on my way back down the mountain. So, I waited for over an hour for things to be cleared up and then headed back up the mountain.
I was amazed by the detail of the artist's work. He must truly love dinosaurs and horses, because he had a LOT of them! There was even a full 4-horse stagecoach with two drivers out front! I ran into him because he was out talking to some other folks. He said prices range from $800 to $3,000 and some are more expensive than that. I never really got a photo of the Indian on horseback, which is up on a hill because the cars behind me were right on my bumper and there was no place to pull over, so I'll leave that for another time.
I did wander around and make friends with his dog, however, and it was a nice, 70 degree day, so I took my time!
Enjoy! ~~ I stopped on my way back yesterday and took more photos, but I'll save those for a later time.
These are beyond impressive. Fantastic!
