Think about it—if there were seventy sculptures, you’d zoom past them like highway billboards. With seven, you actually stop. You park the car, step out, and walk right up to a 40-foot-tall pheasant. When does that ever happen?
It’s like finding seven massive, rusty Easter eggs hidden in the prairie. The scarcity makes each one a real event. Plus, you remember them all. Name ten pieces in a museum after a week—hard. Name all seven here? Easy.
The real number might be… eight?
Some locals say there’s an eighth “hidden” sculpture: a giant wooden bull’s head near the Regent visitor center. It’s not technically on the highway route, but purists count it. Does that bug you? It kind of bugs me.
Here’s my take: let’s stick with seven official ones. The bull’s head is cool but feels like a side quest. The main game has seven awesome bosses to beat.
