Salvation Mountain is a work of art started by Leonard Knight at the age of 30 years. He has constructed the monument out of straw and mud, and shaped all the structures with layers and layers of this compound. He has painted it all with donated paint and with the help of a couple of volunteers. He decided to give back to the Lord for all the blessings he had received. He is now 79 years old. Besides the mountain, Leonard constructed several adobes with his message for all in them as well as numerous awards he has received. The last picture is of his faithful cat. Kind of skinny as there is not a lot to eat out there for the cat, except for today. He caught a gecko and wasted not time in having lunch. This is a must see for anyone coming down this way!!
