Metal Dinosaurs There are metal dinosaurs by the side of the road on 29 Palms Highway. They are there to get attention for a company that manufactures homes. [Julie Mangin, 04/26/2010][RA: Interesting how dinosaurs -- of both cartoon and serious lineages -- have been pressed into service promoting just about any business. Perhaps the idea here is: "If it's this easy to build an extinct but elegant creature... a manufactured home is no problem!"]
