Big Stuff

We’ve been seeing large statues along the road in North Dakota.  We saw a crane at one of our stops.  This one isn't the world's largest though.

Below is the “The World’s Largest Holstein Cow”.  My life now feels complete since I've seen the world's largest holstein cow.  We also saw a bison but I wasn't quick enough getting the picture.  After going online,I found out the bison (or buffalo) was a world's largest too.  Turns out that North Dakota is pretty proud of their large animals.  This link shows some of the creatures they have throughout the state (http://www.realnd.com/giantsofnd.htm).  The Giant Zombie Golfer sounds fun! 

World's Largest Holstein Cow Fun Facts...Fact #1: Salem Sue is constructed entirely out of fiberglass and is, therefore, hollow.

Fact #2: Salem Sue is so large that it can be seen from over five miles away.

Fact #3: The same artist that created Salem Sue also constructed the World's Largest Catfish in Wahpeton, North Dakota


This one is a teapot water tower in Missouri.  Seems like a lot of people feel the need for artistic expression.  It does make traveling more interesting.
