I don't think I'd call them worst, just "different".

It is the world famous Carhenge site. :)

Hwy 18 in Kansas from 135 west to Lucas (The Folk Art Capital of Kansas) my kids refer to as"The Dragon Highway" a local "artist" has 8 or 10 of these somewhat hidden along the road. I'll get pictures next time we take a trip along there.

Somehow, as long as I've been roaming Texas, I've never made it to this site near Amarillo.

But the Ant Farm did present us with on the coolest fossil displays on earth.

A number of Connecticut Roadside Dinosaurs HERE

I frequently drove by the first one, (Below) having grown up nearby.

It always captured my imagination. ^_^

Other than not being able to find a meal cooked by adults, Vernal is a great town!

Thanks Tim, your snowy dino setting is very nice :)

Thanks Tim, I love Pink Dina :wub:

Here another dinosaur in Vernal dressed as Easter Bunny :P

The only good food solution in Vernal is Nandomas Own Pasta Pot ;)

Here's a little family of dinos standing next to I-90 in West Salem, Wisconsin. I took the picture on my lunch break, they looked hungy but didn't seem to want my burger.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Cadillac Ranch and Carhenge turned out to be rudists. :)

Context is critical.

Holbrook , AZ has some great ones... This is the gateway town to Petrified Forest National Park. Some of these are in town, some are out on the highway near town.

On our way to Florida for another Fossil hunt we came across this fossil on the side of the road. Pictured are myself, Antony Gerard, my grand daughter Jaidyn and Rex.

We found over 1000 fossils this trip. One of the better finds on this hunt was a mint condition four inch Giant Sloth claw.
