There is a huge rock near a gravel pit on Hwy.25 in rural Iowa. For generations, kids have painted slogans, names, and obscenities on this rock, changing its character many times. A few months back, the rock received its latest paint job, and since then it has been left completely undisturbed.
It's quite an impressive sight.
I thought the flag was draped over the rock, but it's not. It's actually painted on the rock too.
This was sent to me and thought I would share here are some pics....

Wow!
That is awesome, I can see why the rock has gone untouched!
That is awesome. Hope it stays untouched!
Bronco I have seen this before, and I understand it was painted by a young high school student. It is unreal!!!!!!!!
Tuffy----You are correct it was a Highschool student and his name is Ray 'Bubba' Sorensen. Now he does have some tallent and there was more pics but couldnt seem to find any small enough. I dont know his story but what a tribute... I think this is older but never the less worth passing around........
Still I too got the shakes ( I called them jitters ) and after time and I found a doc that treated my asthma instead of just giving me albuteral. Once I was given singular / loratadine / Advair / and only for back up albuteral pro air inhaler / and a portable nebulizer for neb tratments.... I could never get my asthma under control I am alergic to cats / some dogs depends on hair / birds / perfumes / deorderant / and some laundry detergent. And on top of that I have what they call sports asthma. I have my good days and all it takes is a wiff of someone wearing heavy perfume and I'm down for the count and by god I better have my albuteral or it's to the er for me............

This was a message sent to me by a friend and without never seeing it I had no Idea of the whole story. While looking it up I found this site and tells you directions. I did not know that Sorensen repaints it every year. But here is the link check it out....................Bronco http://www.ticz.com/homes/users/bob/On-A...A-Rock.htm
Thanks Bronco, I didn't realize it was so well known, I may try and see it while there. I am planning a trip to my son's to see.
