Road Runner Posted May 19, 2018 Share #1 Posted May 19, 2018 In the late 80's, I semi-regularly rode the I-85 through SC. The main attraction was the Peach water tower in Gaffney. Quite an eye catcher. ? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirwickWithCheese Posted May 19, 2018 Share #3 Posted May 19, 2018 Thank God you're here. I failed to do anything around the house this morning. Sam and I drove to Bi-Lo at 3:30 in the morning and bought a box of fruit rollups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted May 19, 2018 Share #7 Posted May 19, 2018 I drove to vegas often and there is that giant thermometer in Baker CA along I 15. If my kids were with me we'd all guess the temp. If i drive it solo I'd call my kids and make them guess. They thought it was fun until they became teenagers.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further Posted May 19, 2018 Share #38 Posted May 19, 2018 There is a cave near here, off the radar but well known among the locals. There is a room with perfect modeling clay. It was known as the mud room, several scout troops have been through the cave. I have seen the pecker room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted May 20, 2018 Share #39 Posted May 20, 2018 We saw this on 1 of the San Juan Island, Washington state a few years ago. There were also broken mussel shells along the way, since the seagulls were eating a lot. Careful for bike tire punctures. 2nd photo, while we were cycling in Germany, going through a very tiny quiet and historic town, we saw....a stork near its nest.

MickinMD ★ Posted May 20, 2018 Share #40 Posted May 20, 2018 The first time we drove past the Air Force Memorial on I-95 in Arlington, Virginia just south of Washington, D.C. we had no clue what it was or even if it was permanent. The spires, 201 to 270 feet high, represent the contrails of the Air Force Thunderbirds as they disperse in a "bomb burst" maneuver: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airehead Posted May 20, 2018 Share #41 Posted May 20, 2018 In my home state of Maryland there is a giant mosquito sculpture welcoming you to Dorchester County Maryland. The mosquitos by the way are salt water--- ouch. I have always been fascinated by the McKinley Coffee Break monument in Sharpsburg, Md. Also in BErlin, MD the cowboy with ice cream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
