Plaque Inscription:

Charles Kasling began sculpturing near Andrade in 1967, and his creations now fill a site of approximately two and a half acres. His style, best described as eclectic, was inspired partly by his world travels with the U.S. Navy and partly by the desert terrain.

 

Location:  Imperial County.  On dirt rd, 0.5 mi NW of Andrade, 7 mi SW of Winterhaven.  As the second photo shows, the site has been decimated and travel there is not recommended.

GPS Coordinates for site:  32˚43.670N – 114˚43.679W (JMP)
