The two RV Gypsies (plus one) went to
Mount Rainier National Park
but first they wanted to show Ilse a sculpture park, Spirits of Iron.
June 29, 2015 & July 18, 2013

The Recycled Spirits of Iron Sculpture Park is located along State Route 706 on the way to Mt. Rainier National Park, 3 miles east of Elbe, Washington. The two RV Gypsies highly recommend everyone stop at this sculpture park on their way to Mt. Rainier. (It closes in October for the winter.) This park has been featured in the Disney movie "America's Heart & Soul" & "Recycled Spirits of Iron" on You Tube - sponsored by Mt. Rainier Visitor Association. The two RV Gypsies visited here on July 18, 2013 and again on June 29, 2015 with Karen's sister, Ilse. This page is a combination of those days

The fabulous metal horse sculpture below has its butt made out of horseshoes - see the close-up photo of the horseshoe butt in the photo to the right of the below horse. It is amazing the items used to make these fabulous sculptures. Dan Klennert surely is an amazing artist/sculptor with a great imagination.

Walking beside the work shed, the two RV Gypsies see a small RV - and just look what is in the window of that RV. How Cute!

about Dan Klennert

The talented, imaginative artist, Dan Klennert, and his gal were sitting on the porch outside the gift shop. The two RV Gypsies stopped to talk to him and learned that he has been doing this creative work for 41 years. He was intelligent, friendly, and fun to talk with.  Read the photo above for more details about this amazing artist.
