I found Mollie’s Nipple on the way to Purgatory. I can only assume Mollie is walking around with one nipple.
“Mollie’s Nipple” in Hurricane, UT. I have no idea where the other one is. I hope Mollie still has it.
It’s a butte named “Mollie’s Nipple”. Makes you wonder if Mollie was a popular saloon gal back in the day. Or if she lost one in a bar fight.
Have you ever see a 100 year-old fruitcake? No, no, I’m not talking about an old gay guy. Geez, people. I mean an actual fruitcake. Found via RoadsideAmerica.com at the Hurricane Valley Heritage Museum, it was originally a four-layer wedding cake. Not sure when they ate the two missing layers, but unless they ate them with a hammer and chisel, it wasn’t anytime in the recent past.
100 year-old fruitcake. It looks like pale green/tan concrete with little dark brown rocks in it.
How about a 66 year old slab of now-petrified bacon? No? Well, here ya go…
66 year old bacon. How could you forget bacon in your freezer for so long? It’s BACON!
They also have a dinosaur museum in St George, UT. Now, before you go getting the idea that, like most museums, there are dinosaur statues all over the place you should know there are just two statues. Well, one and a half really. One is just a leg. Both are replicas.
Dinosaur foot with early press-on nails. They were numbered back then.
However, what the dinosaur museum lacks in statues, it makes up for in tracks. Lots of dinosaur tracks. But you can’t get near them. Since the real tracks so far away, to help you better see where they are the museum folks made these little cartoon dinosaur feet, printed on squares of paper, stuck to popsicle sticks, and placed along the real tracks.
Oh. If only they had a paper dinosaur in the scene I could understand the exhibit a lot better.
But the thing that’s had me laughing the hardest is Purgatory. Remember I told you guys I was headed for Hell? There really is an area of Utah called Purgatory.
The area was named by the early Latter Day Saint pioneers because they had such a miserable time crossing this part of the desert in their covered wagons. I guess the modern day Sheriff or Town Council decided it was a great name for a jail. I’d have to agree.
Somebody has a sense of humor.
I’ll be leaving Purgatory soon and heading for Highway 40/Route 66 in Arizona soon. Or maybe Four Corners since I just found out it’s not that far away. Either way, I’m looking forward to the cooler weather!
Please feel free to suggest any funny, off-beat sights in your area. I get the best info from the locals! (Thanks to John in Utah for suggesting Mollie’s Nipple and Purgatory!)
Next up? I crash a castle.

Even petrified bacon is better than most other food. And all vegetables.

We’ve been wondering how hard it would be to cut a slice. It looks pretty good – even for being 66 years old.
Crash a castle?? Dude, you know how to keep an audience interested!!
…
Before you mentioned those signs were feet I thought someone had just planted a whole load of carrots.
Lisa’s last post ..I should go into PR… I quite enjoyed writing this post.
It’s someone’s home, built kind of like a castle.
HAHAA! I went back and looked at the photo – and I totally see the carrots!!
Totally I see the nip in the pic!

A local resident and I were driving to see the sites, and the nipple. He didn’t have to point out which of the many mountains it was – I spotted it right away and started laughing!
Wow, they went all high tech with those signs, huh? Glad you were visiting such classy sites.
And that prison sign is priceless.
What I need to know is . . . did you try to eat the bacon? Because, well, it’s bacon. So, you know, nom nom nom.
Misty’s last post ..Guilty!! Of Being an A$$hole.
The dinosaur feet cartoons are too funny. Yup, that’s me – classy.
Since visiting the museum we’ve been debating the edibility of the bacon. It still looks really good – and it is bacon.
Cool! Are you going to Montezuma’s Castle? We honeymooned in Sedona back in 95′ and that was one of the historic sites we visited. I love that part of Arizona. So many great places to see
Tom G.’s last post ..Green Grow the Rushes, O
Oooh, I didn’t know about Montezuma’s Castle. I’ll have to look it up. Thanks for the tip! I can’t wait to see Sedona – I’ve heard so much about it. And then there’s Route 66!
Gosh,I taught in a penitentiary and I wish it had a cool name like purgatory! I love the dinosaur foot prints…makes them seem like that might have been cuddly!
I hope you packed food for the trip!
I agree…you have to get to Sedona…beautiful.
Jeane’s last post ..One last thanks to Steve…
Got to love a jail named Purgatory. Well, I guess the inmates probably don’t care for it.
You’re right – the cartoon footprints do make them seem like they might have been cuddly!
Plenty of food, but Mrs. Tuna commented there may be snow on the way to Sedona. Yikes!
Urp…heard maybe even snow in Flagstaff. Drive your RV safely. Oh and liking you back.
Mrs. Tuna’s last post ..The Vagina Aisle
Rats. I’ve been watching the news, but they say nothing about Arizona. Now I’m scared. I no likey the snow – unless it’s far away on mountain tops, looking pretty.
Thanks for the like back!
I want your life…and that slab of bacon, yum!

I love RVing. Just do it! It’s an amazing journey and there are amazing people on the road!
Yeah, that bacon is still calling me!
