Thunder Mountain

Friday, August 7th, 2009

I thought I knew about most of the Outsider enviroments in the United States.  But driving down Hwy 80, which runs across the top of Northern Nevada, I spotted something very unusual.  I recognized even at a distance that I had come across an art enviroment. There are no signs directing you to it, but there is an exit from the freeway.  When you arrive at this structure you are greeted by the signs that you can see in the above photo.

I have many Thunder Mountain photos to share with you, so I hope you will bear with me since I will be posting 3 blogs regarding this monument. First, I will cover the overall look of the buildings, Second, I will show the various sculpted figures and lastly, I will post details of the construction.

I hope you guys don’t get too bored with me…
