点评:It's the World's Largest Ball of Twine. There is another World's Largest Ball of Twine in Darwin, Minnesota, but that Ball of Twine is just a pretender. The distinction is that the Cawker City Ball of Twine is the collective work of visitors from all over the world and continues to grow in size, while the Minnesota Ball of Twine was created by just one man and has not expanded since the 1970's. It's frozen in time, as it were.
There is plenty of street parking and a bathroom across the highway in a nearby restaurant. The best reason to stop in Cawker City is that you can say that you've seen the World's Largest Ball of Twine. That, and the attraction is free. This is also within reasonable driving distance of the Geographic Center of the US and also the cabin where the song "Home on the Range" was written, so it's possible to enjoy a lot of Americana in just one day.
翻译:这是世界上最大的麻线球。明尼苏达州达尔文还有另一个世界上最大的麻线球,但那个麻线球只是个幌子。区别在于,考克城麻线球是来自世界各地的游客的集体作品,规模不断扩大,而明尼苏达州麻线球则仅由一个人创作,自 1970 年代以来就没有扩大过。它仿佛被冻结在时间中。
附近一家餐馆的公路对面有充足的街边停车位和卫生间。在考克城停留的最佳理由是您可以说您已经看过世界上最大的麻线球。而且,这个景点是免费的。这里距离美国地理中心和歌曲“Home on the Range”的创作小屋也都在合理的车程范围内,因此您可以在一天之内欣赏到许多美国风情。
