Steel Dinosaurs

A male friend of mine asked if I wanted to see "dinosaurs in Jersey." I was more than a bit doubtful about his intentions, but I went along. I mean, I love dinosaurs. Sure enough, just off of Hwy. 22 in the town of Alpha near the Pennsylvania border are three dinosaurs and a caveman -- all built of carbon steel. Beautiful! The most incredible was a 20-ft. tall Brachiosaurus. The first to be seen was a perfect stegasaurus. All of them are on the property of G.J. Oliver, Inc., a steel fabrication company.
