Some where out in the middle of no where near the California border in Nevada, I saw several huge billboards for alien jerkey. I wanted to stop but was on a time budget, thats the funniest trap I've seen. I really wanted some but on a road trip with losers. (We need to be in LA by 6 they say)
South Dakota is full of great tourist traps...apart from Wall Drug and obviously Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse, there is the Corn Palace, Deadwood, the Presidential Wax Museum, Reptile Gardens, Bedrock City, the Dinosaur Park...(some of these I had forgotten about, thanks to South Dakota Tourist Attractions for bringing back some fond childhood memories!)
The Ozarks are also a mecca for this sort of thing...love Eureka Springs, Hot Springs (has Alligator Farm, Tiny Town, Educated Animals...), and Branson of course.
ive never been there, but speaking of ghost towns southcali, ive heard cairo, illinois is a big one. located right at the ohio and mississippi river junctions. id like to go there someday and see what its like.
