On the road between Phoenix and Tucson, near Picacho Park, there is a roadside attraction, Rooster Cogburn's Ostrich Farm. For the price of a cup of bird food, $ 2, you can feed the hundreds of birds. They sell souvenirs made from the feathers and the eggs.

Though not necessarily just a sign, Jackass Flats in Phoenix is worth the inclusion on the site. Check out this roadside treasure that's still a roadside stopover in the middle of nowhere.

The Thing Trading Post Near Willcox, AZ Photo by RoadsidePeek.com The Thing Trading Post Near Willcox, AZ Photo by RoadsidePeek.com Traveling the I-10 heading east out of Tucson, you will notice a series of roadside billboard signs advertising The Thing. Hmm, what is it? What exactly is this "mystery of the desert?" Well, it's a trading post for starters. Word is that The Thing has been in Arizona since the 1960's. It may be worth the 50 cents or buck or whatever it was to find out. 03-05 UPDATE 02/07 : Here are more photos from The Thing in Arizona.

Yabba Dabba Doo! That's the sign that greets visitors at the entrance of Bedrock City in Valle Arizona. This tourist attraction was built in 1972 and features the familiar Flintstones statues as well as a kids train. 01-07

UPDATE : Bedrock City closed and became Raptor Ranch in 2019. Fortunately many of the old Flintstones features were kept after new owners realized that visitors were still interested in paying to see them. Today, there is a combination of the old Flintstones items and the new Raptor Ranch. 06-23
