WORLD'S LARGEST

It is amazing to look at lists. We all need them, especially when we get older.

But on my recent trip back home to North Dakota, I reminded Justin that this trip was full of a list of many adventures, and then sarcastically said, "But Honey, all lists will pale in comparison to the sights you are about to see along this stretch of I-94." I could sense his excitement!! ;)

So in researching the world's largest list of "things", here is what I have found:

World's Largest McDonald's is in Orlando, Florida.

World's Largest Fiddle is in Nova Scotia.

World's Largest Beaver Dam is in Wood Buffalo National Park in Alberta, Canada and can be seen from space...

World's Largest Pheasant is in Huron, SD.

World's Largest Pineapple is in Nambour.

World's Largest Clothespin is in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

World's Largest Hairball is in Garden City, Kansas... Ummm OK. GROSS!!

You can find more of the World's Largest Roadside Attractions on Wikipedia.

However, North Dakota has a pretty amazing "World's Largest list" as well...all along the stretch of I-94 on our way to Medora and back to Bismarck. We can honestly say that we saw, in awe, all three on our trip westward. The list includes:

The World's Largest Buffalo in Jamestown, the World's Largest Scrap Tin Sculptures in Gladstone,

AND...Drumroll please...

The World's Largest Holstein Cow is in New Salem, North Dakota, affectinately known as SALEM SUE.

I do have to say that there is nothing quite like being that close to an udder or a tail...and it could be quite considered quite fearful...

The black and white bovine sculpture is tucked away almost as a beacon to the buttes of the Badlands...serving as a Gateway to the Rolling Prairie hills.

And then came the hunger for a Quarter Pounder...which became a personal World's Largest of my very own...
