Hallucination Nation
Driving long hours, sleep-deprived, over-caffeinated...yep, it happens to us. Someone in the back seat screams "STATUE!" -- buzz-killing the entire car when it turns out to be a grain silo or utility pole. But worthy colossi are out there, by the thousands. RoadsideAmerica.com will guide you, hone your identification skills, and enhance your road trip adventures.
Things to check out as we head into Memorial Day weekend:
Muffler Men Map
We created the original Muffler Men Tracking Chart in 1996, clueless then about just how many of these fiberglass characters, circa 1962-1974, survived along the highway. Thanks to visitor reports and our continuing research, their locations and status are better known.
The old Tracking Chart is a bit weathered, so today we're introducing a more dynamic Muffler Men Map. We think it's much more terrifying than the old map. Drag and zoom to your heart's content.
