Dino is in terrible shape. One of his eyes is out, and he his peeling badly. There is a tree growing in front of it.

I couldn't figure out why there was a random Flinstones Dino in the middle of Custer, SD. With spotty phone service in town, I wasn't able to research. But now I'm home and was happy to find out the backstory from you guys (of course).
I wanted to let you know that Dino is still there as of mid-June. The figure certainly has not been kept up. I tried to inquire about Dino at the office of the business there, but it was closed.
