On the decommissioned Marine base Camp Dunlop near the Salton Sea sits the candy-colored Salvation Mountain, regarded by many as one of the most striking pieces of outsider-art sculpture in America. A decade after the death of creator Leonard Knight, devotees are trying to protect the artwork, which sits on public land. Maintaining Salvation Mountain is a huge challenge. Heavy rains last year caused the part of the mountain that Knight called the Museum, a fantastical series of brightly decorated rooms filled with painted trees, to collapse. Funds for Salvation Mountain are scarce since contributions mostly come from a visitors donation box. Additionally, the extreme desert climate as well as constant foot traffic causes continuous wear and tear that requires daily maintenance, and keeping the unfenced mountain secure from vandals and miscreants is no easy task. ?? and ??: Chris Iovenko / For The Times https://lnkd.in/gtTVpm9H
