    “The Thing” Off Interstate 10 in Arizona

    I ran across this Buzzfeed article today which lists off the “11 Of The Oddest Tourist Attractions In America.” I’m all for quirky/odd/irreverent adventures (it’s one of the reasons I love the books by the Weird USA guys) so as soon as I saw the headline I clicked in. Of the eleven I have been to…
