"Driven By Vision" Episode 201

Part A - Bishops Castle - Pueblo, Colorado
High in the foothills of the Colorado Rockies is grand vision, and it is hand made. A castle built from chunks of Colorado granite gathered in the woods and from the roadsides. 160 foot tall towers, turrets, walkways, bridges, grand cathedral ceilings these are just some of the incredible features of Bishops Castle. Jim Bishop has been working on his vision for over 40 years, breaking up and laying stones and cement and expounding on his government conspiracy theories to the thousands of tourists from around the world who have been flocking here.

Part B M.T. Liggett Kingman, Kansas
He lives in a town of 250 and he has managed to offend each and every one of them. With his welding torch and a wicked sense of humor, 76 year old MT Liggett creates effigies of every politician he reviles and every woman he reveres. His outrageous kinetic totem poles line his properties at both ends of town, much to the chagrin of the upstanding citizenry of Mullinville Kansa, and much to the delight of art lovers who beat a path to his door.
