Hey folks, Leonard is currently not feeling too well and has been hospitalized. Also, Kevin Eubank, a friend who was caring for Leonard passed away a few days ago. Please keep Salvation Mountain, Leonard, & Kevin in your thoughts.

I find this somewhat tacky, but I’m utterly floored by this man’s dedication and his faith. I do hope there’s someone to carry this on. Bless you Leonard.

You guys were lucky to have interacted with him. Cheers!

How can a message of loving others, all of them, no matter what, be bad? We are all a family, and whether we want to or not, we will destroy each other if we are blind to absolute love- to nature, our god, or our brothers and sisters on earth. Love is the only thing everyone has to offer the world.

If you’ve ever visited Salvation Mountain and talked with Mr. Knight you’ll quickly be able to identify the posters in this string that are lost-people without hearts-people that are probably too young to appreciate this style of art. If you can visit Salvation Mountain and only see…paint…then there’s not much I or anyone else can say to you. The idea, the spirit of the place is lost on you-and that’s too bad.
Next time you’re out there go just a bit further along the road and you’ll come to a place known as Slabs. Again, it’s an an eclectic art style, a form of personal expression that’s not for everyone-but it’s made all that much better for being out in the grandeur of the open country. And, you had to travel to get to it-that’s the cool part.

@Mike: I am sure I could go on and on (you certainly do), but suffice it to say, I feel sorry for you.

[...] now lost Salton City curiously lives right next to the roadside attraction ‘Salvation Mountain‘ and in a way it ignites this mysticism feel that lives in the heart of this country, like in [...]

I wonder what people would think of Salvation Mountain if Leonard were a Muslim, and painted slogans extolling the virtues of Islam and the Koran?

This is gorgeous! Definitely a national treasure. Next time I’m in California, I hope Leonard is there to give me a tour. :)

Watch “INTO THE WILD”: great movie and has this in it which i have just realized also includes the old man who owns it as the character in the movie. He plays as himself in the movie with Kristen Stewart as well
