Jurassic Auto Wash Dinosaurs The Jurassic-themed Auto Wash went out of business. The bank reclaimed the property with the dinos and sold the whole works to a local auto dealer. The auto dealer sold the dinosaurs to Paul Bunyan Land (This Old Farm in Baxter/Brainerd).
The dinos are now part of the scenery for the little train ride. Al Radamacher (owner of Paul Bunyan Land) plans to have the dinos refurbished this winter. Josh Porter of Avalon Studios will be doing the work.
