I badgered my parents nonstop to let us go see "THE THING" whenever we drove by it in Arizona on I-10, but we never got to stop. Looks like maybe Dad was right about this one. The Thing.

Rock City. I went a few years ago and was not sorry I went. Not highbrow entertainment. Hey, we had to "See Rock City"

South of the Border ("Pedros"). If you've been on I-95, you know about the pun-ishing billboards. No reports or advice except don't buy chewing gum from that machine in the men's room, it tasted terrible! (but lasted a long tme)

Ha, ha! Had to ponder this for a long time but finally caught on and had a good laugh!

Finally, a place I actually went to!
Return trip from FL, end of summer 1979 headed back to senior year of college in NY.
I still have a dark brown glass sombrero souvenier from the gift shop. Is it an antique yet?
