Welcome to the "world's most endearingly crummy mini-golf course," complete with bizarre looking images. Yes, this is Peter Pan Putt Putt in Austin, TX.

To the far left is a dino that looks straight out of a first grade paper mache class. At least the glue was dried on this one.

To the near left is a goofy head that is full of fun and games. Well, at least when he talks to you when no one's looking. Check out the big red nose on this face.

(Near right) Here's a close-up of the mini-golf dino. Though he's missing a few teeth now, the grin is still very enchanting.

(Far right) Speaking of enchanting, now the Peter Pan figure himself... well he looks a bit strange, especially at night.

The Cadillac Ranch just west of Amarillo is a famous Route 66 landmark. Built up in 1974 by said to be eccentric but brilliant millionaire Stanley Marsh 3 and The Ant Farm, this line of old Cadillacs are buried nose first into the ground. The angle of the cars are also reputed to be the same as the ancient pyramids at Cheops. The Cadillacs were moved further west in 1997 from its original location due to growth from nearby Amarillo. The Cadillac Ranch is another of the must see sights off the Mother Road. 08-06

Looking a bit like Clines Corner, which is off Route 66 in New Mexico, Carl's Corner is made up pretty much of a truck stop. Check out the two strange characters waving off the top of the truck. 02-07
