Claude Bell's Dinosaurs
The dinosaurs were built by Claude Bell, who ran the Wheel Inn on I-10. Claude took 11 years to build Dinny, a giant apatosaurus and arguably the largest dinosaur in America. A small museum in Dinny's belly still sells souvenirs. A giant Tyrannosaurus was started as the next project, but was not completed when Claude died.
