The early summer of 2008, my wife and I rented this mobil home, and drove from Denmark through Germany, Austria, Leichtenstein, Switzerland and Italy, all the way down to Sicily, and back. It was a four week trip.
There is a geocache hidden near this sculpture, but the grass was too high for me to reach it. This can be seen at the eastbound Interstate 80 rest stop just west of Exit 271. The rest stop has many historical lessons, including stuff about the Underground Railroad. As usual, I was in a hurry while traveling, so I didn't get to read anything. Tabor was an important location on the Underground Railroad in the western part of the state, and this sculpture looks west in that direction. As an aside, Iowa has some very nice and modern rest stops. Stop at this one if you're passing through eastern Iowa. Don't forget to check out the cows behind the rest stop.

We made it Texas! Paxton made it as well but just woke up from a nap and was not in the mood for a picture.
I dedicate this bunch to the blonde lady!
Rest stops in Texas are all clean, and nicely adorned with flowers.
I like this rest stop because it has a woody path that goes way into the woods. I'm too chicken to go all the way to the end though, looks like a good place for a guy with a chainsaw to hang out. Also, the path circles up the hill to a lovely wooded picnic area.
A rest area sculpture on Route 89 in Vermont.
There is a story to these sculptures, I just don't know it yet. Or know all of it. I found a picture of one of them online with this caption:
"One of 18 sculptures designed and fabricated during the International Sculpture Symposium held in Vermont in 1968 and 1971. Matching grant funding was provided by the National Endowment for the Arts."
From another source I learned the sculpture symposiums were organized by a much-loved and now deceased UVM professor. The sculptors came from all over the world, and the output was set at rest areas on Routes 89 and 91.
