Cool stuff guys, thank you for waking this thread back up! I love seeing this stuff.
Ya know, I blew by a muffler man up there twice. Once up and once back. Can't remember which town in BC it was, but it was right on the highway.

On US12 just West of M40 there is a campground on the South side of the road. It has an attraction at the top of the hill just down from their sign. Somewhat easy to miss with the brush growing tall along side the hill.
First pic is right at the side of US12 at the top of the hill.
Second pic is at the top of their drive.
Third pic is as you descend into the campground.
The second and third ones, we never knew existed since we've never turned into the campground before.

Someone told me about this after seeing a tag I posted. I am not sure if French fries and hotdogs count but here they are.
I will post the location after someone gets the tag.

Well... Martha here was found in Blackfoot Idaho earlier this week! She is just down the street from the Idaho Tag at the Potato Museum :wink:
And, Dino was found in Vernal Utah!

Hey, I got Martha's sister in Peoria, IL the other day.
That's funny right there. Somebody needs to get those two ladies together for a reunion. :crackup

LOL... I wonder how many other 'Marthas' there are?

Following up on my prior post...
The 'Martha' I tagged in Blackfoot ID is one of the many "Uniroyal Gals". There are about a dozen Uniroyal Gals across the USA ... we've got two tagged, let's see the rest of them.

I may be able to get the one in NC on the way back to San Diego from CTSToc. I'm going to visit my son who lives in Elizabeth City.
I found this gal last year. Post # 102 https://www.st-owners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63518&page=11

Paul, 'page 11' is different for different users (depends on how many "posts per page" we've each set). Do you have a post number perhaps?

It's no Martha, but odd ball enough. It's the Old Jail Museum in Allegan, MI. Sits directly across from the new jail. Some info found here.
From their website: ""Paul America," the star, took off from New York while they were filming. He ended up here, I am told, at a farm in New Richmond, belonging to a brother or friend. He got busted at a party along with others and ended up spending a couple weeks in the Allegan County Jail. The makers of this film caught up with him and wanted to finish shooting the movie while he was in jail because that was written in the ending. Because of the jail policies, they were not allowed to shoot the film in the present jail, so he was escorted each day across the street to the "Old Jail". If you visit there, you can see the cell that was used and is signed by the cast and people associated with the film. Edie Sedgwick was in this film as well, but not sure if she made it to Allegan. I believe she died during the filming. Besides that, the museum has many oddities to check out, and very friendly people to assist you."
I'll have to visit again some time to go inside and check it out. Sounds pretty neat.

Seen perched on a rooftop in Wawa, Ontario. There's actually a couple more big ones in town but I was done, ready, and rollin' when I spotted them.
