Apparently there’s a quite a competition to have the largest ball of twine, however, Cawker, Kansas will always be the winner because people can walk right up to Cawker’s ball of twine and, most importantly, they can add more twine to it! In fact, every August the town sponsors a "Twine-a-thon". :-D
The shelter that houses the ball of twine is accessed by steps but the ball can be easily seen without leaving your vehicle.
The parking lot is large enough for any RV. Don’t miss the restored gas station across US 24 from the ball of twine. It’s a one room hotel! Twine 39.50921, -98.43381
Cawker City, KS in on my map of place not to miss if I pass by!
ReplyDeleteI saw the worlds largest ball of stamps at Boys Town in Nebraska but you can't add to it, this looks like a good one!
Largest ball of stamps! Putting that one on my map. :-D
DeleteI sure hope you're planning an eventual coffee table book displaying your adventures on the road. How about, "Giant Twine and Concrete Swine-- a Journey Into the Soul of America?" You may use that, if you wish.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great name! If I ever make a coffee table book ( not likely though :-D )that will be the title.
DeleteWow -- I wonder how much that thing weighs? Bet it's a ton-and-a-half! Small town America!
ReplyDelete8.9 tons according to the internet!
DeleteSimply WOW!
