I realized it was nearby as I was stopping for gas on a 7,500 mile road trip in the summer of 2021 and so stopped by. I spent quite a while there photographing the installation as well as the other people visiting it. Corn was planted in the field it's in and it was about 2' at the time. There were a couple vendors in the parking lot along the frontage road selling snacks and cans of spray paint. It was pretty fascinating to see how thick the pain was that has been deposited on those vehicles over the years and to watch people climbing all over them to add their own "touch".
I texted a photo to my sister and she remembered that we'd visited as kids on a road trip out West. She was even able to dig up the photo and send me a copy which was pretty neat.
