What can you find along 690 miles of yard sales? Pretty much anything.
Every year for the last six years, I’ve taken my sons, and maybe a friend or two, on a pilgrimage to the World’s Longest Yard Sale. It runs from Addison, Michigan to Gadsen, Alabama. We travel a good portion of it, just to see what people have to offer.
The answer? Anything you can imagine. These are some gems from the past. I’ll be there again this year. I guarantee we’ll find more things to make you go what?
1. A bull that doubles as a grill.
2.Somewhere, there is a song about this.
3. His buddy has the snacks.
4.Little Basket of Horrors
5. Barbie Dream Car, WLYS Edition
6.Just tell me these clown figurines don’t freak you out just a little
7. Vampire deer + inflatable chair = impending disaster.
8. Pirate sled?
9.Only in the South(Editor’s note: this is going on my Santa list)
10.No pooping on the alligators. Seems like common sense, but you never know.
11.Everyone needs a giant searchlight for their house. How else are you supposed to signal Batman?
I’ll be there all weekend, so look for more weirdness to come. I’ve got me, my boys, and my girlfriend. Be prepared.

OMG ! Seriuosly ?! 690 MILES of yard sale ??! LOL, too funny, that’s one of the koolest things I’ve heard for a while! I SOOOO wish I was there !!! I LOVE the grill !! OMG! I sooo want to go there! Lol.
The search light? A great end table for your den …. I’d buy it if the price was right. We had the alligators but left them at our last house, they’re cook when you place them and only part of them show through the grass. Get me those NASCR fronts…… My grandson is into Pirates, perfect gift for him. Always wanted a deer head. Love the grill.
Tom, we’re gonna have to talk about those NASCAR fronts. And yeah, that’s a pretty sweet grill. It would look great in my front yard…
JJ,I just noticed there are 4 of them…. I’ll let you have one
