Big Rusty the Troll
With its cinder block toes and toothy grin, this laid back troll is a happy monster.

Just past Diamond Diner there is a driveway with a bi-level lawyers' office -- turn there. It's a little intimidating because there are no trespassing signs all over. If the gate is open, you can drive right through, and it's a short drive, which will open up to the abandoned buildings and Big Rusty. Better seen in afternoon as my pics were a little washed out in morning sun.
