High Desert Tour – early afternoon

After trudging through the sand from Kate’s Lazy Desert, next stop was Looney Dunes.  Aptly named as I soon discovered.  The owners, Phillip Maberry & Scott Walker, are artists.  Their creations are sculptures that appear to be colorful pool floats!

Moored in the desert sand dunes and caught in cactus gardens it is impossible not to smile at their juxtaposition. 

You may remember their previous home, immortalized by the B-52′s in their video for the band’s hit song, Love Shack.

Yup, it’s true.  And if you look closely that’s an afro-ed RuPaul in the white halter top dancing in the living room!
