Episode 72 - Niland, CA

from Pull Over · host Richard L Burr

In the early 1980s, a man named Leonard Knight tried to build a hot-air balloon painted with a message about God's love and fly it over the California desert. It never got off the ground. Instead of giving up, he built something that couldn't possibly fail to be seen: a fifty-foot mountain of adobe and paint, by hand, alone, over almost three decades. He died in 2014. A nonprofit still maintains it today, exactly as he built it.
