Traveling with PugsleyTonks
What is Traveling with PugsleyTonks all about?? My goal is the pursuit of that little slice of Americana. It's not big name or high-cost tourism. PugsleyTonks likes to find that diamond in the rough or go to the out of the way small town. I want to visit the oldest bar in every state with hopes that they serve some PBR on tap. Find that unique "ma-pa" restaurant with an interesting blue collar atmosphere and large portions to match. Or, perhaps its as simple as a little walkabout in the city to discover that strange little statue or other oddities. So, please come and join me in my search for Americana. Discover some obscure attraction or learn some useless information. All are welcome and its really just good, clean travel fun. PT

WORLDS LARGEST POPCORN BALL
I suddenly saw a sign to turn left because the Worlds Largest Popcorn Ball was just 2 short miles away. Admittedly, my nervous passenger wife screamed when I almost wrecked the car to take a hard left to pursue this travel gold.

Before there were major interstates like I-70 and I-75, there were the classic US Highways that wound their way from town to town across America.

GATES OF HELL
As you approach the Gates, you will notice all the devilish runes enhancing the entrance. I assume the language and markings on the Gate are similar to the Black Speech of Mordor and should not be uttered in our realm.
