The Legend of Bigfoot

After the Drive-Thru Tree, the roadside attractions grew increasingly stupid. Not that that bothered us, of course.

“The Legend of Bigfoot” had a promising name, but just turned out to be a store that sold such lawn decorating essentials as plaster gnomes and all-weather Elvis busts. Their true specialties were big wooden sculptures of bears. Talk about false advertising: we learned nothing about the legend of Bigfoot. They had a couple of wooden Bigfoots, but their feet were barely bigger than mine.
