The ROCK.

[Charger_Fan]

My wife forwarded this to me today in an e-mail. I'm pretty darned impressed & I had to share with youz guyz. 


I'm told that there is a huge rock near a gravel pit on Hwy. 25 in rural Iowa.
For generations, kids have painted slogans, names, and obscenities on this rock, changing its character many times.
A few months back, the rock received its latest paint job, and since then it has been left completely undisturbed.
It's quite an impressive sight.
Be sure to scrolldown and check out the multiple photos.  (all angles) of the rock.



I thought the flag was draped over the rock, but it's not. It's actually painted on the rock too.








Here's the artist -- Ray "Bubba" Sorensen.



I hope it stays untouched for a long time!

My little brother (who is bigger than me) just got back from Iraq yesterday.  He is home for two weeks then back to work for another 6 months.

Very cool.  Thats only about an hour from me, I might have to go check it out next summer since I go that way once in a while.  Looks like its a yearly tradition for this guy.

Thanks for that link, that is SO cool!    So the pics I was sent were from '03...that was one slow e-mail!
I like the '05 one.


PT, tell your brother thanks for me.

Looks great... a little teary eyed now!     Reminds me of what Nicolas Cage said in National Treasure: "A toast? Yeah. To high treason. That's what these men were committing when they signed the Declaration. Had we lost the war, they would have been hanged, beheaded, drawn and quartered, and-Oh! Oh, my personal favorite-and had their entrails cut out and burned!    So... Here's to the men who did what was considered wrong, in order to do what they knew was right... what they knew was right."

God bless our Troops... God bless America!

That is cool! But you just know some stupid punk thug will come along and paint over it.

They should give the artist a medal or something . I bet he is not very popular with the hippie protesting crowd .
