How many have you been to? I've been to 3 1/2 - the 1/2 because I was near the Marfa Lights, but didn't stay either time - must do so one of these days:

I've only seen two of these - Corn Palace and Petrified Wood park. Both were many, many years ago.

Corn Palace and Carhenge. Haven't seen the desert in Maine, but have seen sand dunes in Canada and South Dakota in places where you would never believe they should be there.

I haven't seen any of these (been close to the House on the Rock but didn't get there). I will have to look for these when I get on the road someday. I like stuff like that.
