    There are dozens of ads of that attraction posted along I-70 in MO.

    Default "Elvis is Alive" Museum?

    Depending upon when Gen took that photo -- it could have been the "Elvis is Alive" museum that used to be in Wright City, Missouri. But the owner, Bill Beeny, closed the attraction in November, 2007. I know that most, if not all, of the original collection was purchased by an Elvi collector, Andy Key, who intends to re-open the collection in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. In fact, RoadsideAmerica.com published a report in July, 2008 which essentially confirms that it is open again.

    Is this the one?

    Hmm...Isn't that in Cheyenne? My computer screen his not working properly (too dark), so I'm not sure but the statue looks like that of a woman. I'll take a wild guess on this one: the person responsible for making Wyoming the first State to give the women the right to vote??

    Looks very much like the Rio Grande River – probably taken from the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, near Taos New Mexico.

    Further north suggest Colorado.

    It’s a while since I was there but is it at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison River from Sunset View.
