True Spirit

Post by Reel_Nut » Fri Jun 06, 2008 1:03 pm

Can't believe this was done by a teenager!!
There is a huge rock near a gravel pit on Hwy.25 in rural Iowa ..
For generations, kids have painted slogans, names, and obscenities on this rock, changing its character many times. A few months back, the rock received its latest paint job, and since then it has been le ft completely undisturbed.

It's quite an impressive sight. Be sure to scroll down and check out the multiple photos. ?(all angles) of the rock.

I thought the flag was draped over the rock, but it's not. It's actually painted on the rock too.

Jeez that's a site worth traveling to see. Hope that kid gets some press for that, that's a true work of art...
