Before I sign out on this most amazing adventure, I'd like to leave you with a few gems....or something like that. We are two days away from home and have been slammed with storms since leaving the West. Another massive one is on its way from Illinois into southern Indiana where we decided not to tempt fate and are staying at a motel tonight in Columbus, which is still reeling from the floods last month. As soon as I post this, I'm shutting down and bringing in the flashlights and lantern from the Wee Hoose....just in case! Meanwhile, check out this last (maybe) post:
A few nuggets we'd like to share with you as we approach our final return destination: This Alien Entertainment complex rather fascinated me.....somewhere in the midwest, which is where we saw more than just a few oddities, such as the one below....
No, not
me....this
place into which I am beckoning you in this photo - The House On a Rock. Or rather, built around, under, between and over a big rock, over a number of years and filled with more collections, art, stained glass, mechanical instruments, old books and stuff that defies description, in Wisconsin, of all places. But the further off the interstate we went in this state, the more quirky-ness we encountered. Now this 'house' has grown into kind of a village of stuff, from the world's largest indoor carousel to a full mechanical orchestra. However, Wisconsin has some truly classy attractions, as well. Scroll down.....
On the same property as Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin homeplace, is the first building in which he 'broke the box' of architecture.....a school for the youth of the Wright/Jones families in the valley which still serves as a school of architecture for members of the Taliesin Fellowship today.
