2006 Big Things Road Trip to Kansas
In the spring of 2001, I took a massive four-day road trip through the Midwest United States (Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois) to photograph "Big Things" as well as to visit my Grandparents on both sides of the family and to photograph my childhood hometown. I planned my trip using RoadSideAmerica.com to plot out tourist attractions listed in their database, and I attempted to visit some sites they didn't have photos for as well.
My friend and co-worker Brent Mundy recommended The House on the Rock Tourist attraction to me, and when I looked it up on RoadsideAmerica.com, it turns out to be one of their Seven Wonders. So of course I had to go. This was worth the entire trip, believe me. The house was built by a guy who was disgruntled that his dad was fired by Frank Lloyd Wright, and so built this house as a parody/commentary on Talesin, which is up the road. The attraction consists of the House and half a dozen galleries of wacky and eclectic collections.
