There are so many things that we wish we'd photographed, but here are a few that we did. From the Kangaroo Court in the Moccasin Bar in Hayward, Wisconsin to the world's first Atomic Powered City, it's all here.


Ho, Ho, Ho. We woke up to the Jolly Green Giant after spending the night at the Blue Earth Campground.


Not only did someone bother to attach this Bud Light can to this sign in Northern California, but it's velcroed for easy removal.
For agreeing to be the test site for the world's first Atomic Energy Plant and later a nuclear waste facility, Arco ID got this handsome sign...

Midwest Wonders #1: Fried cheese curds, a corn dog (not pictured), and a chocolate malt at Sam Hicks in Spooner, WI.

Midwest Wonders #3: World's Largest Mounted Muskie, esox Masquininogy at 67lbs.
 
 
 

Midwest Wonders #5: Raccoon and Wolverine boxing. Wolverine won.
 
 

I just thought these warnings on now defunct EBR-1 atomic energy plant in Idaho were funny: "Danger: Potential Hantavirus Contamination" and "Caution: Controlled Nuclear Area." Welcome Tourists!

This sign commerates Evel Knievel's failed attempt to jump across the Snake River in his rocket-powered motorcycle.
.. the sail from a submarine, the 666 "Devil Boat", 18 million years of job security, and a Naval Floating Dry Dock named after them. Interested?

Midwest Wonders #2: Answer to the Trivial Pursuit question "What Animal is depicted signing 'Sweet Adelaide' at the Mocassin Bar in Hayward, WI?" Gophers!
 
Midwest Wonders #4: "Kangaroo Court." Yes, the lawyer is a weasel.
 
This Information booth in New Zealand was made from corrugated iron and shaped like a dog. (The sheep was across the street.)
