Everything is a little bigger up in the Redwood region of CA, a fact that is on full display with this giant, 6ft tall, wooden piece of Roadside Corn. Looks pretty random, eh? Well, it is.
This little gem is parked right in the midst of the iconic Avenue of the Giants drive, a road that takes you on a twisted route though the magical Redwood Forrest of Northern California. With it's otherworldly trees and epic hiking, taking this drive is whimsical journey through one of the most wonderful areas in the State; definitely not to be missed in anyone's lifetime. However, I'm much more interested in focusing on this giant ear of corn.
Despite not being hundreds of feet tall, or boasting an age in the thousands, this corn has enough moxie to hold her own amongst the giants.
Meticulously carved from wood, and looking a bit like a giant Twinkie, the corn has golden honeycomb skin shines bright in the warm sun. And there's an added bonus-- a plague, tightly tacked on to the front, which reads "To Pepperwood, and it's Loved Ones". This cryptic note only adds further mystery and intrigue to the situation.
A roadside attraction in the most literal of terms— it's located about 5 feet from the road, I kid you not— the giant ear of corn is a nice and random stopover for those tired of looking at giant Redwood trees. I mean, we all came here to the corn, right?
