Vacation Planning of the Doomed

[kz_blogorambling]

When we traveled home and back, I relied on several guidebooks with titles like "Iowa Oddities" and "Off the Beaten Path in Illinois" and of course my trusty iPhone app from Roadside America. I like to find us interesting stuff to look at (like the large pitchfork). Many times we're near things in which we are interested, but we don't have time to stop (or we're passing through after closing time). For those attractions, we vow to stop on some future trip. Like, next time we'll swing by and see Algona (IA)'s huge cheeto. And we'll definitely go to the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake Iowa.

Then there are other attractions. Attraction which hold no appeal. Here's a place we passed where we are not stopping and WILL NEVER STOP:

Yeah, I've been super glad we have it--although it's got some flaws and not all of the sites are well-documented.

It's not a free app, and you have to buy it in zones. So, being cheap, I only have it for one region of the midwest.
