You Shall Not Pass!

This fierce man of metal has stood guard on the west side of SR 169 in Maple Valley for years. He guards a picturesque pasture between the Red Dog, the local dive bar, and the Seattle Agility Center.

Normally this burly denizen has a rather robotic-looking, nutsy and boltsy sort of head. He now appears to be sporting a woolly wild man mask with ram’s horns. I did a double-take while driving past the other day because he looked so real.

Whoever welded together this tin man and his trident did a great job posing him. I for one would feel a little wary climbing that fence, as if a real person could be hiding inside the armor, waiting to lurch at trespassers like in those scarecrow prank videos.
