Journey with us as we throw down the gauntlet in a whimsical bracket-style battle, pitting America's most bizarre and charming roadside attractions against one another. We've snagged the expertise of Jesse Brown from the Geocaching Podcast to join in on our escapade, adding a touch of treasure-hunting thrill to these wondrous spots. From the Corn Palace's corn murals to the Popeye Character Trail, we're not just passing through – we're peeling back the layers of these cultural icons to gauge their geocaching potential and community impact. Plus, we're dishing out the stories behind their creation, transforming mere stops along the highway into destinations that capture the heart.

Forget your typical accommodations; this episode will have you booking a night in a beagle-shaped inn or debating the merits of resting your head inside a giant potato. Our offbeat road trip doesn't end at the quirky sites; it extends to where you tuck in for the night. And with attractions like the World's Largest Ball of Paint going head-to-head with metallic horse sculptures and a fire-breathing dragon, you'll be rooting for your favorites as we inch closer to crowning the roadside royalty.

The final showdown is a nail-biter, with the Enchanted Highway stretching its artistic limbs to outdo the spherical splendor of the World's Largest Ball of Paint. In a battle of length versus layers, Jesse's deciding vote catapults one attraction to this year's pinnacle of peculiar fame. Join us as we recount the marvels and memories of these roadside wonders, and hint at the birth of an annual tradition that will keep the spirit of adventure – and perhaps a bit of madness – alive in the travels to come.
