Elberta Jurassic Park


Mr. Husband and I took a day trip out to Elberta, AL a couple of years ago to see the sites.  We checked out a neat antique store complete with live bluegrass music.  We then went on a hunt to find all of the large as life literally roadside attractions...they are just there, off of a road.  The largest is the life sized replica of Stonehenge, called Bamahenge.  Then there are a sprinkling of random dinosaurs that I have decided to name.  Above is Terrence the T-Rex and then there's...


Trixie the triceratops.


and Jethro...the slackjaw-yokel-asaurus.



We also came across this larger than life metal spider sculpture on the grounds of the nearby marina.


Mr. Husband as the serving suggestion.

At the marina, in the water, is sometimes a huge floating woman head and knees.  But the day we went she must have been off having her knees waxed or something because we couldn't find her.

All of these things are along County road 95 in Elberta, AL.

Those dino's look really neat, Mary! Stonehenge looks nifty as well :) Did you happen to see the knights?

Alabama is a bit of a drive for me, and I'm rather loathe to go by myself. Maybe someday!

I didn't see the knights! Hmmm... wonder if they are still around. If Elberta, Al is ever on your way to some place else maybe then swing by and check them out!
