Really Big Stuff

Posted byChristi IfferganPosted inMissouriTags:, , , , , , ,

While in the St. Louis area, I found two interesting places to visit. I love finding quirky roadside attractions and here are a couple to add to my list.

World’s Largest Catsup Bottle Collinsville, Illinois

World’s Tallest Man Statue Alton, Illinois
Growing up, we had the large yellow pencil in Wytheville, VA.

Several people have asked how I find the places I visit. I have two favorite places I look for ideas.

The first is Atlas Obscura, an online magazine and travel company. They have a website and have published four books.

Click on books for more information.

Atlas Obscura doesn’t have an official app, but you can access all of the destinations on the Pocket Atlas of the Obscure app.

Use Pocket Atlas of the Obscure to see locations on a map.

The second place I look for suggestions is Tripadvisor. You can download the app or access it at tripadvisor.com/.

My favorite feature in the app is that you can search for places near you.

Hi! I am Christi, a full-time RV traveller since August 2021. I have always loved to travel, but COVID-19 put a stop to that. I was fast approaching 50, my condo was being placed up for sale and I was ready for a major change. Originally from a tiny town in rural Southwest Virginia, I am the mother to one son and a rescue Shih Tzu, Cappy. For the last 20 years, I worked in public library systems around the Charlotte & Myrtle Beach areas. I met some amazing people and made great friends along the way. Follow along on my adventures as I travel the US. I hope that our paths will cross one day!
