Description

The International Car Forest of the Last Church is a fascinating place, open air art gallery. Over 40 cars, trucks, vans, and buses have been buried nose-down, or stacked atop each other, along a dirt road in the desert. Created by Mark Rippie and Chad Sorg in 2002.

According to Rippie, “The Last Church” is a representation of the last church being inside each of us. “International Forest” was a spoof on National Forest.

The International Car Forest is located in Goldfield, which is on Highway 95 in southwestern Nevada. Goldfield is a tiny town about 30 minutes south of Tonopah. While Tonopah feels like a mining town. The International Car Forest is located at the end of town, on Crystal Street.

I find place like this to be absolutely amazing, just to see that work that went into this place is incredible. The one thing that I didn't like was that some artists had put a lot of work into a piece, just to have someone come along and tag it. That to me is sad, in the past it was encouraged to leave "artwork" there, but now they ask that you respect the artists. I agree.....
