The World's Largest Purple Spoon

We had two hours to kill this afternoon while waiting for check-in time at what was supposed to be our hotel for the night (we are sleeping elsewhere—long story) and checked Trip Advisor for the top 15 things to see in Browning, Montana. This spoon was listed, although it is actually in East Glacier Park. (If you spend more than a few minutes in Browning, you will understand why they had to extend the boundaries in order to come up with more than half a dozen things to see.)

So we sought out the giant spoon and discovered that it was across the street from the restaurant where we ate lunch, and we had somehow failed to notice it. (This might be a common problem since the sign identifying the spoon also helpfully includes an arrow pointing to it. “Oh, that giant purple spoon! I didn't see it!”)
