Randy, and anybody else planning a trip to or thru Kansas,
Here is something you have got to see to truly appreciate:
The Garden of Eden in Lucas, Kansas.
Official Website Link...
Roadside America's Website Link...

My wife and I visited this place on a sightseeing tour/vaction we took during a summer break (and before our divorce) from classes at KSU. It looks really guady and wierd, and to a certain extent it is, BUT up close you can really see the strange form of genius at work. Mr. Dinsmoor did all of this on his own, in concrete. There's a weather vane that weighs a ton (?, maybe more, I forget) that is so perfectly balanced that it actually works!

Of course, there's also the Mausoleam where, for a few extra bucks, you can enter and actually see the body of Mr. Dinsmoor laid out in his eternal glory in his custom concrete coffin with glass viewing plate. Rather creepy but the visit really isn't complete without seeing it.

UPDATE & FIX:
Randy, I apologize! I confused your last name with your first name and just noticed it while I was showing off KnoxViews to my brother. I have fixed it.
I wrote the original message after getting off work (Midnight to Eight AM) and had not yet had my nap. Please accept my most humble apologies for my screw-up.
