This was my last day of traveling before I arrived in Minneapolis and it was a really long day. I had 6 world's largest things to see and it seemed like every place I wanted to go had detours because of construction. The first thing I did get to see was the pelican in Pelican Rapids, Minnesota. It stands at the base of the Mill Pond dam on the Pelican River, right downtown on hwy 59. It is set a little back from the road by the post office. I had to stop and ask someone where it was but don't worry the town is small enough everyone knows what you are talking about. His name is Pelican Pete and he is 15 1/2 feet tall. I kind of think he looks evil. His eyes look like he's about to attack the kid fishing beside him. Pete is a very popular place for people to fish because the fish get thrown around by it's base and get disoriented which makes it easier for people to catch. That's probably the only place I would ever catch anything because I suck at fishing...I could be bad though because I don't like to touch the worm or the fish...just maybe that's the problem.
