Things I'm going to stop to see on my way back to the Midwest:

The Kinzua Viaduct (again, this time with light): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinzua_Bridge

"Where the Ducks Walk on the Fish": http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2204

A bridge with some fantastic allegorical art-deco bas-relief art (I just adore allegorical art, monumental sculpture, *and* art deco): http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/35444

A graveyard in Cleveland with this amazing sculpture (The Angel of Death Triumphant) and the castle where President Garfield is entombed: http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/44626

A memorial to a World War I dog: http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/23162

And the Temple of Tolerance, which appears to be another of those giant art installations created by some random guy; I *love* these things!: http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/19633

If I was independently wealthy, I would bicycle around the world to meet people who have put so much life and passion into things like The Forevertron or the Temple of Tolerance, or the World's Largest Ball of Twine, and I would interview them and write a book. What leads these people do what they do? What do they have in common? They have a transcendental, otherworldly quality to me.
