Dinosaur made of tire rims. Brookshire, Texas - Tywheelosaurus Rex

The Tywheelosaurus is still there, but it is easy to miss. One caveat with the directions as posted: If you are driving westbound on I-10 from Houston, then take the Peach Ridge exit, stay on the feeder and follow the directions posted. But if you are driving eastbound towards Houston and take the Peach Ridge exit, you'll pass the sculpture. The frontage road is cut off by the river, so if you're coming eastbound on I-10, then unfortunately the only way to get to the sculpture is to take the Peach Ridge exit, take a left on the first stop sign, go under the freeway and go under the freeway again, the Tywheelosaurus is a few hundred feet before the eastbound exit ramp.
