Giant Cement Statues from Weird California - Road Trip Day 10 Episode 28

[robertpaulsen]

My sister-in-law gave my wife a book years ago called “Weird California”. I thought it was a great title for a book considering how often California marches to the beat of its own drum. Anyway, it’s also inspired me to go out and find some of the strange, unique, creative and “weird” stuff that I have a tendency to be attracted to. The Giant Cement Statues of Auburn, California are definitely one of them.

2. The Weird books are awesome!

I've heard of Carhenge. Is that in Tennessee? I think I've seen a video online of that and the world's largest ball of twine. I've got to check those out someday!

7. Soap Lake, Washington is still trying to

raise money for the world's largest lava lamp. Maybe in 20 more years it'll actually happen.

4. Thanks for that link, FSogol!

I haven't seen that website before, but I'm familiar with a lot of the places mentioned there. We had considered visiting the Official Center of the World on our road trip, but figured it was too far out of our way.
