The Gemini Giant is a 28-foot tall green space man who stands outside the Launching Pad restaurant in Wilmington, Illinois. In his hands he holds a giant 80foot rocket. He’s one of many muffler men spread throughout the United States.
Here are a few pics I took of him this past weekend. Stay tuned later today for some photos from my first trip there back in 2007.

The Agricultural Crash Monument has changed a lot since I last saw it in 2007. Mainly, the grafitti seems to have been cleared up. The sign still says “Argricultural Crash” though.

Over the weekend I drove around to check out a few roadside attractions I’ve seen before. Here’s a little sneak peek at my trip…
Time for a ROAD TRIP!
Every road trip starts with a big cup of coffee in the cup holder.
