After leaving Grand Junction, we went through the really cute town of Fruita,CO. We came here because there was another photo op. from the coffee table book! This time it was a statue built to honor the "Miracle of the Chicken"! This is the miracle: a farmer chopped the head off of one of his chickens for dinner, but the chicken didn't die! In fact, he lived for 18 months without a head! This is no joke. He survived by being fed with an eye dropper through his open esophagus. He toured the United States and was featured in many news papers and Life magazine! The town of Fruita celebrates this miracle every year with a big fiesta and parade downtown! We took our picture of "Mike" the headless chicken and headed on to Las Vegas.
I still think this is the strangest thing ever... LOL!
