I found these two critters in Guthrie KY during my tag week. They were within a 1/2 mile of each other.

Wow, amazingly huge !

.... and the animals are also large.

I put this one in my ride report from last weekend but thought I ought to link it here. This thread needs another giant ice cream cone. This one from Kennedy Meadows on the way toward Sherman Pass.

I posted one a couple months ago from NY. Ice Cream shop in the shape of a giant cone. Thought it 'specially appropriete as it's name is Twistee Treat (post #24 in this thread.)

Met this fellow on the ride home from YooperSTOC. It was getting too dark to get the bike in the picture. The name of the town should be obvious...

crackup:crackup LMAO...With that dark photo, he looks like he's got a tire tool in his hands. He certainly appears to be someone you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley. :crackup

Pictures taken in Sparwood, British Columbia on my 2007 trip. This rig was used in the local coal mining operation, along with the huge "chain saw" for coal. The Titan burned 70 Imperial gallons per hour and the rear drive electric motors consumed enough power to electrify 3200 homes. It had an 800 gallon tank. As you can see, my ST was just a wee feller in comparison.

Here's an interesting oversized music box in Atomic City ID, across from the Atomic Motor Raceway...I'm thinking that they play that thing during the races there. Paaarrrrrty!


This one caught my eye... found in Arco ID. Conning tower for SSN-666 Hawkbill


And for some reason, I keep finding oversized chickens. This one is in Darby MT.

 

[bygdawg]

Nice catches. Looks like you had some great weather for riding in those pictures.

This one is the current Northern California Tag, since no one grabbed the tag in front of the Carson Valley Inn.

On a State Hwy in the middle of CA,

There are a series of frogs (frobbies) in the hills around the desert. Painted rocks (or formations) I have no idea if there is any organization to them or not. The circle that they cover is enormous. Different species and colors...

No, I don't have a picture, I have never stopped at a frog, just appreciate going by.

Huh? CVI is in Nevada. <checking tags> Oh, I see what ya did. If Dace thought my last AZ move was illegal, she'd KILL ya for this one.

I think the "whale" is suppposed to be a giant Piranha. No idea where it is and I ain't headed back that way anytime soon. Good job, Paul.

I set that up to give many the chance to move the tag back towards Tahoe or wherever, but no one caught it.

I know this doesn't fit the guide lines but I couldn't resist. Minnesota's odd ball!

 

[BakerBoy]

In Grants Pass OR, visible from the I-5 freeway:


It was hard to tell the purpose of these stainless steel figures... I couldn't decided whether the city may have put them there to 'show off' Grants Pass or whether possibly the fitness center (in the background) may have put them up.

Here's a fresh one from yesterday on the way home from 666. This is at the Kokopelli Mall in Camp Verde, AZ, "World's Largest Kokopelli." Wonder what the Anasazi would think of this?

 

[NoBull]

The ST is not in the picture, but it was there I swear! It's a giant lobster in Shediac New-Brunswick, Canada.
