USA Rocket Yard Art

Went to look for the rocket, and it wasn't there.

USA Rocket Yard Art

Easily accessible and awesome! In a rural farm area. Park on the side of the road, or there's a marked entrance for the property.

Yard rocket.

USA Rocket Yard Art

I was riding around the country roads of Lafayette/Scott/Carencro area and saw this rocket on the side of the road, in someone's yard, so I took a few pictures. This is apparently a shell of a USA rocket that someone erected as some sort of yard art.
