My kids would have been in heaven! Yea, for backroads, they're my favorite way to travel! PS thanks for putting me on your blogroll!

I'm here too. My husband, however, would NEVER pull over and let me talk to those people. Ugh. He just doesn't understand the value of a great blog post. Don’t you just love Kansas?!

There's the guy out east of Augusta right on 54. I don't think he uses salvaged parts, though. There's Hubble's Rubble in Howard, a series of sculptures made from farm equipment along Hwy 18 in Lincoln County, Ernie Poe from Sharon Springs who makes sculptures out of barbed wire, M.T. Liggett's political sculptures outside of Mullinville, and a place just up the road from me in Rose Hill, not to mention all the many, many yards I saw while doing census work that had smaller sculptures made from old shovels and smaller farm equipment. Tom Otterness is a native of Wichita. When people think of Kansas, I think they typically think of farmland rather than the arts. They don't realize how many creative and talented Kansans there are. I see Marcia has already left the link for Roadside America. It's a great site! The Kansas Sampler Foundation also has lots of wonderful information on things to see and do in Kansas.

I wish I could have been there. There's a man near El Dorado who is a former English teacher, and he sculpts literary scenes. I'll see if I can find the info. to send to you. Cool!

We have a couple treasures similar to this one in our area....sometimes we take them for granted....but we'll stop and smell the flowers and touch the dino's next time.

I can see why your boys would love them. BTW your oldest son looks a lot like you in the one picture.! Thanks for sharing. My Mom was born in Independence (near Coffeyville). Hope you had a great trip. Sandy Not something I’d want in my front yard but real works of art and love! I can see why your boys would love them.
