By the time he’s two years old, your toddler may be able to build a tower of six blocks or seven blocks

Is this the next whistle stop for the train after Asteroid City?

I’ve also wanted for a while to check out “Double Negative” up to the northeast of Vegas.

… oh dear

Couldn’t it just be some random person who likes stacking rocks :confused:

Does weird stuff in the desert have to be Art™ now

Are those the Seven Mountains that the Dominionists talk about? Not quite what I expected.

My guess is that they were involved because they had to get approval from the city/county, etc…
I’d really like to check this out, but every time I go to Vegas I don’t have a car. I imagine you could get a taxi/Lyft to get you there, but might be tough to get one to schlep you back to the city. It’s like 20 miles south of the strip.

I’d be wary, very wary indeed, of a two year old who can stack boulders like that.

I’m sure they’ll turn out just fine.
