From Leonard Knight's painted mountain of hand crafted adobe to Grandma Prisbry's architectural marvel of "recycled" bottles, this rollicking travelogue celebrates the boundless creativity of those resourceful, perhaps obsessive characters, who have transformed their environments into utterly unique works of art. In between revelatory visits to four of the Southwest's most ingenious roadside attractions, whimsical, thoughtful and downright invaluable travel tips are dispensed, with the hope that awestruck audiences will not resist the urge to realize their own inspired visions and future adventures.
