On the way there, we drove by a swarming field of snow geese (and took some pictures), and then a little bit later, we saw something almost indescribable. At first, I thought it was a retail business. Because nobody would have that many inflatable holiday decorations out, unless they were displayed for sale. Of course, we stopped &#038; drove by that location as well &#8211; and discovered rapidly that this was no retail establishment, but 4 mobile homes situated near one another, and obviously had a close, co-ordinated relationship.  There were easily 100 balooning figures dotting the landscape. I took a whole bunch of pictures, and yet, it still failed to capture the enormity of the scene. Short of renting a helicopter, I don&#8217;t know how I could convey the huge open countryside, the surrealness of seeing ALL these blow-up holiday decorations, and the mobile homes &#038; barking dogs &#038; bizarreness of it all. I&#8217;d recommend seeing the whole photo assortment on my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/plazajen\/sets\/1607265\/\">Flickr Account<\/a>; I have a lot of editing to do with commentary &#038; boxes, that I&#8217;ll get to eventually.
