Scrap metal dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs at the Shell Station

While this was previously described as a destination to see a metalwork cactus, snake, and dinosaur, we found that the snake and cactus had retired and were replaced with a whole herd of dinosaurs. The brontosaurus, likely the oldest construction, is a destination in itself -- now completely covered in stickers.

This is a wonderful place to stop for selfies with these larger-than-life monsters.

Snake and dinosaur.

I didn't see the cactus, just the dinosaur and snake. Both have been painted an undesirable shade of brown...looks like to cover graffiti?

At the edge of the road is a dinosaur, saguaro cactus, giant rattlesnake and a gila monster statue in the front of a gas station/Subway restaurant. Wanting a little shade on a 110 degree day, my grandson found some - under the dino!
