My Primeval bike ride

I'm exploring all the way outback areas of my new home town now that I have my elect bicycle completed. I was at mile 16 of a 17 mile long, dead end, leads-to-nowhere farming road when I entered a Primeval world. These are probably close to life-size and are just placed on the ranch's "front yard" so to speak. I seriously doubt that there are one or two cars per week that take this road – not counting residents. The family must have a great sense of humor and a bit of money!
















There were 5 total, but the largest one was knocked down. It lost its tail and toppled over.

That's awesome!:twothumbs Where does on get large dinosaur lawn ornaments?

And just how many people take pot shots at them thinking they are real?

Fantastic!
I wonder if the bird nests in the big fir tree at the top of the hill are real?

I don't blame that guy for being angry. The only privy for miles around, and the roof is too low for him.

Very interesting! Strange to see this in such an isolated area.

The birds nests are real. There were tons of very large wing span Hawks riding the currents the entire time I was on the road. It was about 85 degrees and I'm sure there were lots of thermals.

I didn't notice one bullet hole in any of the "animals" nor in any road signs. Actually, I saw absolutely no signs of any vandalism what-so-ever. Now that IS strange for CA!

BVH, you couldn't possibly give us the location on Google Earth?

I understand if you wish to keep this place a secret though.

Thanks.

Location of the dilapidated building next to Dino in the first pic is:

35 degrees, 06' 31.05" N
120 degrees, 23' 15.35" W


Google is using 2005 data in this area. I can't seen any of the creatures in the view. They must be newer than 2005.

Neat pictures and story Bob. Sounds like you're really enjoying your new bike. You'll have to update this thread with your adventures. :thumbsup:
