Kansas brings the quirky—giant twine balls, massive hairballs, and a town literally called Gas with a gas can water tower. Some of these we’ve visited, others are still on our list. When we’ve been somewhere, the link takes you to our photo page with details and snark. Otherwise, you’ll head to their official site (assuming one exists—sometimes that’s half the adventure).
