Salvation Mountain

Yesterday we did a road-trip to "Salvation Mountain" which in short is the work of a mad man in the dessert. Tons of paint, hay, clay and wood has been assembled and "built" together to make a hill and a structure commonly refereed to as "the Museum". I is all brightly coloured and covered with an amazingly singular take on Christianity, omitting all the juicy parts. Repeating the words Love, Jesus and God until you just think that the maker Leonard Knight is not just a loony but a illiterate loony with the mental scope of a 8 year old. Even so he has been able to build this very interesting attraction or Jesus-freak-land since 1984 if I am not wrongly informed. I strongly recommend a visit if you happen to find yourself in the inner parts of southern California. It is about 2-3 hours drive from San Diego.
We came late and just caught the last light from the setting sun before it all turned dark on us. Which in it self was something of an experience. The whole place got much more eerie which was cool.
We also got a visit from the carrying neighbours who informed us about some technicalities which was very pleasant. But one of them had some self image issues and thought that he as the "alderman" should tell us the mother fukkin truth. That was unfortunately sad since he tried to be cool with having been in one of the movies. Well all in all a pretty good outing.

One question that was duly raised was if the man who built it got any. And the best answer any of us five could give (4 males and one woman) was in Swedish and can not be translated:
"Batikhäxorna står på rad som groupies."
