Grandfather cuts loose the ponies!

This is one of my favorite spots in Washington. "You can view the wild pony sculptures just east of Vantage from the parking lot, or you can get brave and take the hike to the top.
The metal ponies are a lot bigger than they appear to be, practically life-sized. The artwork viewed by millions of passersby is not complete, unfortunately. Before funding got cut short, artist David Govedare envisioned horses contained in a 25,000 lb. steel "Great Basket," and then "Grandfather Spirit" tipped the basket, cutting loose the ponies."
