Cave Woman on a Dinosaur

A cave woman sitting on a dinosaur. We are pretty sure it was in "downtown" Glasgow VA -- The Town That Time Forgot.

According to creator Mark Cline the cave woman is modeled after Raquel Welch as Loana from One Million Years BC.

Town that Time Forgot

We visited Glasgow, "The Town That Time Forgot," and found the dinosaur population to be down somewhat, but still very much in evidence. The Triceratops that was guarding the Mom & Pop Restaurant apparently hopped across the road and now stands guard for the Grocery Express. Only a few little bears are in front of the restaurant, which does serve good, reasonably priced food.
