Steel & concrete dinosaurs located at a truck stop in foothills near Palm Springs. >>>>
From the interstate highway the uncommon view of two giant dinosaurs, on an arid plain surrounded by mountains, is an irresistible magnet. But tourists are not the only ones compelled to stop. Well within L.A.'s convenient day-drive sphere, the Cabazon dinos became media darlings in the 1980s, appearing in everything from Coke commercials to MTV videos to the film Pee Wee's Big Adventure.

T-Rex and Dinny.
They were built by Claude Bell, who ran the adjacent Wheel Inn on I-10. Claude, a former amusement park statue designer, took eleven years to build Dinny, a 150-foot-long apatosaurus and arguably the largest dinosaur in America. To cut costs, he scavenged rebar and cement from the construction of the freeway. A small museum in Dinny's belly still sells souvenirs. Claude's admission sign promised speedier work on the rest of the dinosaur family he planned.
