When my family flew from Pittsburgh, PA to see our son in Twenty Nine Palms, he made sure we stopped to see your "Iraqi Freedom" mural before we left town. Dan was so impressed by it that we've been searching ever since for a poster or photo of the mural. Is this mural in the book, I would love to surprise him?

I did once have to climb straight up a 70-foot single pole billboard, then pull a hook ladder up on a rope. I hooked the ladder over the top of the board, with the bottom of the ladder hanging off in space. It took me about an hour to work up the nerve to step on the ladder!Don Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497657029761169270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674898426369236660.post-89814402530608785122010-04-04T23:22:48.543-07:002010-04-04T23:22:48.543-07:00HMMM...have you ever been to Vale, Oregon, Sam?

As a billboard painter in a former life, I do occasionally miss painting that large (and I liked rappelling down the side of a four story building at the end of the day). On the other hand, I don't miss fighting the wind, rain, snow, and invariably repetitive questions from passerby. And although I got to do a few more 'artful' walls, never anything as cool as yours. Wow! Very impressive.r garriotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00601540194915313393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674898426369236660.post-61605121685762595582010-04-04T13:59:07.154-07:002010-04-04T13:59:07.154-07:00Whoops.
