After our trip to Salton Sea, and my little knowledge of what was out there, we decided to make another trip out there and find Salvation Mountain. Boy is it a trip. It is built by one man, Leonard Knight. It has taken him the last 2 plus decades to make his masterpiece. this is his second try at spreading the word of god. He initially spent 15 years building a hot air balloon with god is love on the side in big red letters. In 1984 he had to admit defeat with the balloon and decided to leave his mark on the desert in Niland, CA. What started as a small cement "monument" turned into a mountain after a few years of a little cement here and a little cement there. This is what has become of his "mark" on the California desert.
