Alamogordo, New Mexico - to my delightful surprise, the “World’s Largest Pistachio” appeared in “Flo’s” windshield - I knew it existed, but no idea it was in New Mexico … this World’s Largest “quirky” became the highlight of “US Route 54” … “McGinn’s” received a “Run-A-Way Bill” over-priced tourist-trap award - people are NUTS to pay “McGinn’s” prices … sometimes I feel like a nut and sometimes I don’t - this time “No Nuts For Me!” … I left with a couple “quirky” smiles but nothing else - the “Parking For Nuts Only” sign was a nice touch 😂 … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabQuirky #QuirkyUSA #KeepUSAweird #rabKeepUSAweird #InSearchOfQuirk #rabSmiles #rabWorldsLargest #WorldsLargest #rabUSroute54 #USroute54 #rabNewMexico #NewMexico Tuesday 12.20.22 (at PistachioLand: McGinn's Pistachio Tree Ranch - Arena Blanca Winery) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmi8TKcOVg6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Not only did I enjoy the delicious chocolate covered 🍓 strawberries and 🍏 apples that my parents sent me for my 50th 🎂 birthday, but I was entertained by 😽 Roo and 😸 Spike’s interest in the 🎈 balloon.

Worlds Largest Raspberry! Not only is this one of the newest Big Things I've seen (erected July 2017), it is also one of the best!! (I seem to have an affinity with Food Big Things 😋). As soon as I saw this online I KNEW I had to see it! My instahub liked this one so much he even got out from behind the camera for a pic with this great Big Thing! Big big thanks to our hosts @brue0097 and Derek for being such great Big Thing tour leaders. So nice to sit back and be driven around from Big Thing to Big Thing :) We had such an awesome weekend away and hope you enjoyed the behind the scenes of a Big Thing roadtrip! xxx #littlekarenbigthings #minnesotabigthings #worldslargestraspberry #insearchofquirk (at Hopkins, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1C7FObnSE5/?igshid=1qq3ef17li594

In a small park in Winlock, WA is the World’s Largest Egg! The Winlock egg measures 12 feet long and weighs in at 1,200 pounds. In the 50’s, the city of Winlock was a large producer of eggs in America and had to show their pride. If interested, Winlock has an Egg Day festival in June that has classic cars, a parade, and they even serve egg salad sandwiches! #isoq #insearchofquirk #theduofinds #duofinds #theworldslargestegg #egg #edgeisanegg #eggman #winlock #washington #roadsideamerica #roadsideusa #backroads (at Worlds Largest egg) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-GB8rgn98Z/?igshid=53h84wqkoh7i

RepostBy @dumb.drunk.donkey: "Chesterfield, Missouri: When you’re enjoying a walk in the park and a giant hand tries to grab you... The arm is actually part of a gigantic sculpture of a giant that includes a head, an arm, a hand, a knee, and a foot struggling to unbury itself. The Awakening was a sculpture created by J. Seward Johnson in Washington, DC in 1980. This version in #Missouri is actually the second casting of the sculpture and was installed in 2009. If you’re in the area, it’s totally worth a visit for the fun photo ops! 👍✋🖖 #theawakening #sculptures . #missouriadventure #roadtrip2012 #missouri_photos #publicart #insearchofquirk #showmestate #atlasobscura #touristattraction #fodorsonthego #LiveTravelChannel #touristtrap #roadsideattraction #roadtrippers #roadsideattractions #roadside #discovertheroad #roadsideamerica #exploreusa #usaroadtrip #ipulledoverforthis #discoveramerica #travelamerica #americanroadtrip #lifeontheroad #sculpture #oddballu" (via #InstaRepost @AppsKottage) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv25ACClyl6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18xm68vvl7nzx

Repost from @routemagazine • Tucked along Missouri’s historic Route 66 in Lebanon, the historic Munger Moss Motel has been an iconic stop for travelers for more than six decades. The opening of the new Interstate 44 in this area in 1957 may have spelled doom for the quaint motel and its giant neon sign, but optimism and a bit of cheeky pluck kept it alive. But much like Bob and Ramona Lehman, who have owned the Munger Moss Motel since 1971, the motel didn’t originate in Lebanon. One started with sandwiches; the other with a freak blizzard. Chance meetings, faith in the future, and a continued passion for Route 66 brought the two together. Get the full story of the Munger Moss Motel, the Lehmans, the enduring mystery surrounding the giant neon sign, and the unique and bizarre numbering of the motel rooms. Only in our April/May issue. In stores now. Or order a copy from our website. Link in Bio. ❓Did you know that the Munger Moss Motel had the first swimming pool in Lebanon, which was installed in the late 1950s. ✍ By Ahlanna Beckett 📸 By David J.

Spoonbridge & Cherry!!!! 🥄🍒 This fantastic Big Thing by my favorite artists #claesoldenburg & #coosjevanbruggen has been on the top of my Big Things bucket list for many years and it did not disappoint!! We'd planned to come here back in 2016 but the trip was thwarted by the sculpture garden being shut down for redevelopment. It seems it was worth the wait... the grounds are lovely and any place with multiple big things in a single line of view (see the giant blue 🐓 in the background) gets a huge ✔ of approval from this gal! Now I just need to figure out what should be the next Big Thing to replace the bucket list no. 1 position! Let me know your thoughts! #littlekarenbigthings #spoonbridgeandcherry #minnesotabigthings #insearchofquirk (at Minneapolis Sculpture Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0zlpYKnzLy/?igshid=h3mcrldr0ed0

After leaving Jerusalem Ridge, we stopped by the Rosine Cemetery to pay respects at the final resting place of Bill Monroe and many other talented musicians. It was really neat all the fiddles carved into the stones. I also came across a lot of homemade markers as well that reminded me of my own ancestors. When you're poor and/or live in a holler, you make do with what you got. #billmonroe #monroehomestead #jerusalemridge #bluegrass #bluegrassmusic #musicislife #kentucky #kentuckyheritage #roadsideamerica #roadsideamericana #supportlocal #backroads #backroads #travelUSA  #roadtrip #roadtripper #ontheroad #usroadtrip #travel #roadsidehistory #insearchofquirk #americanhistory #followingmybliss (at Rosine, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEDYjbzhN0I/?igshid=183kk8vyg9q8l
