I only found out about this because a local who was working at a salvage yard I was waymarking told me about it and advised me to go visit. The action is on the left side of the house with a really cool wheelbarrow and man sculpture in front of the house. Everything is easily viewable from the side of the road. In fact, there is a dirt and weed "shoulder" to pull off and take your time to stare.

I saw a really cook red, white and blue rocket ship, a railroad crossing sign which was neat as well. The rocket ship was made of throw away scraps, as far as I could tell. The owner also made an outhouse with a neat moon sculpture over the top corner of it. I saw an artillery gun with a short little man in front of it. There was also an old mile post marker but I could not get close enough to tell. There was all manner of stuff laying about including an old street sign which I suppose was also rescued from the garbage.

My favorite piece is the dude with the barrow. The sculpture is red, blue and blueish green and is made of metal tubes, some flat metal pieces and of course a metal disc for the barrow. The person has grabbed both handles of the barrow and is beginning to tilt it up. The head is the best part, it is black but looks like an old train whistle or at least appears to have the general shape of one. Please view from the road and respect their privacy. This is however obviously out on display for people to see, that much I am sure.
