I have been to the Crater of Diamonds State Park. You do actually get to “stake your claim” and dig for diamonds. While I was there, someone found a yellow diamond. Yes, people find diamonds. I will go back someday.
The Crater of Diamonds State Park is in Arkansas.
West Mineral, Kansas. That is where Big Brutus, a giant steam shovel sits – just waiting for you to venture close enough… We went here when the kids were little…they wanted to climb to the top, but due to safety issues (which I hear are still a concern), they could not. Still, the tour and facts and museum attached to the shovel are really cool. You can even buy souvenirs.
Great find! Look for a story on it Friday evening.
The World\’s Most Scenic Toilet on Mount Rainier, Washington.

Peabody Ducks at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, TN. Bill & I went there on our way to get hitched in NO. Cute little ducks doing their nightly parade down the red carpet to the fountain. Quirky and fun.
