A Hero of Mine

Click Here to view slide show about Mark Cline


One of my heroes in life is a man who makes fiber glass dinosaur sculptures and foam replicas of Stonehenge. His name is Mark Cline a.k.a. "Professor" Cline who I had the opportunity to meet for a story about Natural Bridge, Va. For those of you who don't know the place, it is a haven for kichy roadside attractions. In my opinion it has the best collection around. I've been to Wall Drug, Cosmos Mystery Spot, and many other attractions in the country but I do have to say that Mark Cline's are the best I've seen yet. Dinosaur Kingdom, my personal favorite, is basically animatronic dino's eating Yankee Sol dies who tried to enslave them and use them as "weapons of mass destruction" against the south. I know it sounds too good to be true....but I assure you its real and worth the seven bucks to get in. So for the story "How to see Natural Bridge without seeing the bridge" we got the chance to hang out with Prof Cline for half a day. This was one of the best days at work I've ever had and really confirmed just how great Mark Cline really is. Check out my slide show about him by clicking the link.
