I’m a bit fixated on weird pieces of Americana. You know, things like the biggest ball of twine. Carol, being a very good sport generally, let me stop at all kinds of whacky places on Hwy 101 and even got into the spirit of things.

I'm with ya. When we drove to the Grand Canyon a few years ago I wanted to stop at all the kitschy roadside attractions. (Taking a trip to Wall Drug as a child will do that sort of thing to you.) I kept seeing things on our moto trip that I would have stopped for, but making a short stop on the motorcycle is way more of an ordeal. One that comes to mind is a place that was advertising dinosaur footprints.
I should also mention that we have to stop at Little America in Wyoming any time we drive by.

I think that stuff is part of what makes America- America!
