Here's a look at the Braum's Milk Bottle in Oklahoma City. Right off Route 66, this huge milk bottle can be seen for blocks. This bottle once advertised Townley's Gilt-Edge back in the day prior to Braum's. Many thanks to Billy Benham for name correction and history.

Travel down I-94 in Steele, ND and you'll eventually across a rather tall bird off the side of the road. Actually, you'll now meet "Sandy" the world's largest sandhill crane. This crane is about 40ft in height and promotes the area as one of the best birding destinations around.
