December 11, 2008: Visit Leonard Knight's Salvation Mountain in Niland, California. The other night on PBS was a program on artists in the Mojave Desert, California. One of the artists interviewed was Leonard Knight, who created Salvation Mountain. I decided to give him a visit and see first-hand his creation. I had the pleasure of meeting with him and he gave me a personal tour. After 30 years he is still going strong painting the side of a mountain to let all know that God loves everyone.

"Salvation Mountain must be seen to be fully appreciated as those who have made the journey will attest. Its 50 foot height and 150 foot breadth is made totally of local adobe clay and donated paint and is truly unique in the United States and probably the world."
