- Daphne, Alabama - Green hand holding an American flag
I passed by a green hand holding an American flag on US 98. It is 7 to 12 feet tall, and is best seen going west on US 98. It is not far from I-10, just a few miles south of Exit 35.
Also, at Wilcox Rd (Baldwin CR 64, I-10 Exit 53) in Alabama, is a water park called Styx River, and has a lot of tall men (like cowboys and sailors) and animals (I saw a large cow) there. I didn't get to stop and take a picture, I was going on I-10 heading west towards Mobile.

Some winding roads, so be careful. Bring your own refreshments -- they could use a lemonade stand. I'd go back!
[Jbax, 04/19/2014]Rock Animal Zoo:- Address:
- 3215 County Road 32, Fackler, AL
- Directions:
- From US-72 turn north at the Texaco station onto AL-42. Follow it, through Fackler, for seven miles. The road bends sharply left; make the next turn right onto AL-32. Drive one mile. You'll see the Rock Zoo on the right.
State roads 33 and 32 are amazingly beautiful, and the Rock Zoo is one of the best roadside attractions I've seen so far.
