Tonight i watched Huell Howser at 7:00-8:00 on KCET. Huell, the host goes around and interviews different people about the exciting places/hobbies in Caifornia. Today he went to a place called Salvation Mountain, that was worth blogging about.
Leonard Knight was born in Vermont on November 1, 1931. He never liked school and went into the Army when he was 20. His life long dream was to go to California. When his father passed away he started painting. Knight tried to make a huge Ballon with his love of Jesus but failed and then began his mountain. He started building his mountain but then it fell apart so he rebuilt it with adobe clay. He retouches his mountain and gets many donations to add on to his masterpiece. He is 73 and lives in donated car.This kind of art is truly inspiring.
