Hole N'' The Rock

After our fun visit home we left a day early to miss a snow storm. Nothing says fun like Spanish Fork Canyon covered in snow....in the dark. So we ended up leaving and missing the storm. Since we weren't in a hurry we spent the night in Moab. We've driven through 9 times in the last year and never stopped for longer than it takes to eat breakfast.
On the south end of town there is this. It used to be the home of some crazy guy and his wife. He spent 15 years blasting a 5000 sq ft home out of the rock. Part of it is now a gift shop but the rest is still just the way it was when the couple lived there.
He carved this on the outside of the "house"

It's now just a place for tourists to stop and has a "general store" and a bunch of other "Art" around the property

Mater was on display

This golfer statue is made of golf club parts

Here is another example of the metal work here. This jeep is covered with liscense plates. And if you notice the wheels are all made of random metal things

See the "tire"

A front view. Not sure what the huge bone is doing on top.
