Our second day  began with unplanned stops at  the General Dean Suspension Bridge and random roadside figures before exploring Pollard's Collection.   Then we traveled to the  Cross at the Crossroads, America's Largest Cross.    We went on to find    the HVAC man, Miller Lite Beer Can and Tow Mater.   We had another lovely unplanned visit to the  Ballard Nature Center which had a pond filled with turtles just waiting to be fed.  On further down the road, we came across Indian Teepee Buffalo and Battling Horses, Yard Art with Trucks and the laughable Gateway Arch Replica.  We stopped in Vandalia  where the home of the state's oldest surviving capital building can be seen across from  Lincoln Park and  behind the    Madonna of the Trail.  Probably the biggest disappointment of the trip was the Kaskaskia Dragon.  After purchasing the required  tokens from the liquor store across the street, the  collector wouldn't accept it so we weren't able to see the flame.    We journeyed on to the Hand with Painted Nails - we got lost on    a road in the middle of  the world's largest cornfield.   A nice gentleman guided us on our way...twice   (funny story).   After finding Kay the Elephant's grave and stopping in Taylorville to spot JFK in a Graveyard, our big day continued to Springfield for a quick lunch at Cozy Drive In and to catch the   Pink Elephant with a Martini, Lauterbach    Man, Car Bumper Deer, IL Firefighter, 911 Memorial with Pitt misspelled,   The Dana-Thomas House and Lincoln Home.     We ended the   day  exploring Lincoln   finding the   Tiny   Church, Watermelon, Phone Booth on a Roof, Covered Wagon   and Old Neon.   Funks Grove was closed by   the time we arrived.
