    Here's the infamous Ass Peach in Clanton, Alabama. Word on the street is that there's a bigger one in South Carolina somewhere...

    This is one of my favorites, in Eufaula, Alabama....

    And this one, at Hamilton Crossroads, Alabama, seems to be allergic to tornados. Crazy thing, it appears that the tornado went right over it, which caused the legs to twist, and the weight of the water made it collapse onto itself.

    I think it was Adair, IA

    I've got one that looks like an ear of corn from Rochester, MN some where. I'll post it when I find it.

    OK. How's this. I took it on today's little ghost-town ride.

    This looks to be an old water tower for the steam engines coming into Las Vegas from Salt Lake. It is across the tracks from a ghost town called Dry Lake, NV.
