Beware Of These 30 Tourist Traps And Save Yourself From Getting Ripped! (5 of 6)

 

 

Plymouth Rock, Plymouth, MA

This rock is nothing, but a little rock, on which is stamped the year 1620 when pilgrims stepped on this rock. As it lies fenced with sand all around, the photos too don’t come out as good. Avoiding the shops selling pilgrim paraphernalia and sweatshirts is also recommended.

 

 

Corn Palace, Mitchell, SD

The only one corn place left in this world is this one. There were even more of them, in the times when the Midwestern towns built their palaces of corn showing off their skill at cultivating this vital crop. The construction of this building is actually impressive, with every year a mural being added, this photo and gift shop at downtown Mitchell is only to get pictures and return to the highway. You could take a break at Bible Land Park just in front of the street. The palace, though has free entry, but the carnival ride wristbands cost $24.

 

 

The Desert of Maine, Freeport, ME

Not even a desert technically, this major-sounding point is just a sand patch actually in the otherwise forest like state. it was caused by some guy who not knows about rotating crops properly. The topsoil eroded with time and he gave up this farm to some other guy who bought it around 1919 for just $1 for an acre. Six years later, this guy opened the farm as a tourist place, and today, this Desert of Maine costs $10 to enter, including a guided tour of 35 minutes.

 

 

Four Corners, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, UT

This ground with a plaque having been recessed in it would make for a good Instagram, but only if you go into the Twister mode, putting one limb per state. Chances are, though, that there are not many who’ve had this same idea. It is sort of do and show that you did this kind of a thing, but being a tediously long drive distant from any place justifies it as being below average for a photo session. You’ll find yourself paying between $5 and $10 to access this site. Keep away from vendors trying to sell overpriced trinkets.

 

 

Bourbon Street, New Orleans, LA

It is undeniable that the French Quarters are beautiful, and that is the reason such huge numbers of people come to New Orleans. Bourbon Street, which is actually the main street road, however, falls into the trapping territory owing to its chains of average restaurants, drunk off crowds, and overpriced bars. If this all is not what you like, you better head towards the St. Claude Avenue or Frenchmen street.
