Next to Slab City is Salvation Mountain. This amazing structure is the work of Leonard, who has been building this for 29 years while he has been spreading the Love of the Lord for the same time. He's 79 and greets you and explains his 'car tire tree' which we are standing in front of, and 'truck tire tree' with all the materials what he has found left in the desert and dragged over here. He adds wood and branches and plasters them with mud and water - adobe. Next comes the paint. It is a work in progress, painting every day. To get to the top of the mountain, you follow the yellow brick road. He lives in the painted old fire truck at the bottom.
