Huell Howser visited twice and said the place "defies description." He hit that iron nail directly on its head. (The video is well worth watching. You get to meet Michael and see some great vintage photos.)
We wandered a bit but it was more fun to stay with our friend and tour guide, Scott Rubel. Scott grew up in the castle and helped his uncle Michael build it. Scott shared stories of the history of this unusual place, as well as his own memories.
Scott doesn't give tours often, but all the tour guides are great.

That final photo is very intriguing.
Actually, they're all amazing. I tried to turn the first one sideways, it seemed the wrong way up. What an incredible castle.
Very intriguing... I'm reminded of the term folly.
I couldn't think of a title for this post. Maybe just "Rubel Castle, Rocks."
What an interesting building!
Thank you for the link to The Wireguy page on Fb.
"Dee-faus Dee-scription," is my bet. Plus bottles of various colors.
You've got Huell. "That's the kahnda thang Ah lahk!" I miss the guy, he was so joyful about the stuff Ah lahk, too.
glass bottle houses - yes!!!
I love all of these images, Petrea. There is something about those rock forms that really appeal to me.
I think we both like these rock forms, Lauren. It may be why you ended up in England and why I may yet do the same!
