There is a statue of a unicorn at the intersection of Mountain Avenue and South Road in Cairo. No indication of why it's there, and it definitely seems out of place, which makes it cool to suddenly come across. Might be of interest to unicorn seekers.

- 1 South Rd, Cairo, NY
- Directions:
- From Main St. In Cairo turn west at the stoplight onto Mountain Ave. Drive a little over one mile. When you come to a left turn for South Rd, look left; the unicorn is there.
- Soldotna, Alaska - Alaskan Carousel Carvings
A wood-carved carousel is surrounded by a woodcarving workshop, a woodworking gallery, and an ice cream shop. The best woodworking that I have ever seen. We were able to see the woodcarvers working and talk to them and ask all sorts of questions. Very pleasant and kind people. The property was fun to walk around, finding all of the different pieces that had been created and hidden/displayed. All of the wood is handcrafted by the woodcarvers there, everything from the welcome sign to the life-size bear with a (wooden) human foot in its mouth! The carousel was not functioning, as they were updating and repainting it.
Everything was completely free unless you wanted to buy a piece, which we did.

- La Crosse, Wisconsin - World's Largest Six Pack, and the King of Beer
They tore off the facade August 7th. I don't know if this is permanent or if they are giving it a much needed face lift. As of currently, there are no beer can designs.

I would've loved to meet the owners and walk around the property. What a beautiful looking home and peaceful quiet area. The Stonehenge replica is cool -- would have loved to have gotten close up to it, but remained a respectful "private property" distance.
I also love their "may peace prosper in the world" post by the driveway in four languages I love the English and Hebrew!
