We use the Roadside America for all our fun side-trips between stops. If you haven’t gotten this App, we highly recommend it. It has great things for places, even around your hometown. You can sort what you’d like to see by interests, themes, or even sites near you. After visiting the attraction, you can “check” it off on the App, so you don’t have to repeat the visit. You can add comments, tips, hints and even photos. We find the tips and comment sections are the most helpful. So far, we have yet to be disappointed: Oh, I’m lying! We tried to find a folk-art museum in Grand Forks last year, you could feel the marital enhancement going on in the Jeep. I was giving the directions and each time we would end up behind an old Stop-N-Go type store in the “best” neighborhood down a street that looked like where you purchased your local drugs (not the drug store kind either). Zoom Zoom took over the navigating and wah-lah – back at the crack dealing corner. So that’s the only glitch we have had.
Where the Ducks walk on Water got 5 little “lollipops” out of 5! So, we traveled 45 minutes,one direction, out of our way to see this phenomenon. It was well worth the stop! There is a little snack shop and restrooms for you if you need anything. Don’t buy bread in town, they sell a loaf of bread there for $1.00! We saw places on the way selling the bread for $2.00. It makes you anxious and you feel like you must buy bread early. We were just going to use our Chicken in a Biskit crackers.
There is plenty of parking. We parked Wally and Jethro across the street so we were out of everyone’s way. As you get close to the water the kids are what you hear – they are thrilled. Peeking over the railings down into the water all that is seen is a solid wall of carp across the top of the water. It kind of looked like a sidewalk of fish. I had never seen so many fish up close! There were ducks, geese, and a few egrets. We only saw the baby geese walk on the carp. I didn’t matter, it was still incredible! We got so many great photos.
If you do use the App, we find that if the attraction has 2 “lollipops” or more, the attraction is probably pretty good.
