It is an Army Corp of Engineers Campground. Out of the way and quiet,
We passed this on the way in - Jim Bird's Farm. Started in 1993, this farm is a large field that's filled with whimsical characters and sculptures made from a variety of materials such as hay, scrap metal, and other junk.
He began the project, as a result of problems encountered with his hay baler. Bird’s hay baler started spitting out bales that were rejected because of their out-of-round shape. Jim Bird used some of the rejected hay bales and created a caterpillar to surprise his wife, Lib, who was out of town. Bird used to be spelled out in branch letters over the Arch.
Jim vowed never to spend more than $5 on any of his creations and he pretty much stuck to that.
