What) Fanciful junk art statues, including a 60-foot-tall, 25-ton sculpture of a bull's head and its creator Wayne Porter may be lurking inside.
Wayne learned ironworking from his dad, went to college, came home and started a sheep ranch. "The only vegetarian rancher in the state, I think," he says. That was in the early 1980's but Wayne found he preferred metal to merino (that's a sheep joke), and began making art from old farm equipment, cement mixers, and anything else that he could get his hands on. "Dad once asked me, 'What happened to those car springs?' And I said, 'Well dad, I chopped them up and made a sculpture out of them.'"
Wayne was
not alone in his urge to make art out of metal junk. But he
was willing to think big, and he wasn't too fond of his job,
and had the good fortune to live where there was lots of land.
He also had the motivation to move out of his hometown, where
his art was not well received. "You haven't lived 'til you've
been called a Satanic pornographer," he says. (1)

Why) I am
willing to put places like this on the list because there is
usually at least one thing that I will really like. Now we
were going to be arriving here before Memorial day so I did
not know what I would be allowed to see or what I would be
willing to sneak in and see. 
... I waited until much later to take the internet tour. (2) Now, prepare yourself a bit as there is quite a quality range in the next images.
... just strange but all of the sculptures I am displaying have a different perspective that appeals to me. (5)
As you probably don't share in my taste for unusual sculpture you might still enjoy this part of the images. (6)
