He’s Popeye the sailer man! What’s not to like? During our road trips we like to find road side attractions. This was one of them. He’s easy to find, right in the lot with a visitor center. Checked off the list :)

Come on now, kitch on the side of the Mississippi! It was pretty far off the beat n path but i thought it was on the way to something else… The gps puts the statue in teh middle of the river, but it is on edge at the visitors center. The visitors center is closed on sundays, but they do leave the bathroom open — whew! The statue is what it is and it was fun to stop and see it — even if the wind was whipping like crazy and it was cold!

First, you gotta know who Popeye is right? The famous cartoon character that made spinach famous? Anyway, the writer was from Chester and there is a near lifesize statue of him in a small rest area right at the end or start of the bridge over the Mississippi river. Its a small rest area, but I write this as there is a new info center there, very nice, lots of maps, and most importantly, a very modern, clean rest room. the rest area is on the Illinois side of the bridge and its worth the stop.
