Players: Erin & Mallery
Not far from the Kaleva Bottle House, hidden away in Kaleva's Centennial Park, we found the Giant Grasshopper. A local welder and 2,000 Lutheran Brethren High School students created the masterpiece along with several other projects that were intended to renovate the small town. The sculpture was built to commemorate the town's Finnish heritage, but as it turns out, the legend behind the grasshopper turns out to be fake!
The grasshopper was actually hard to find as it is camouflaged in tall weeds along the tree line. If you are in the area and looking for the grasshopper, good luck! If you live near Kaleva and own a weed whacker, it would be greatly appreciated if you helped eliminate the weeds!
On a side note, if you are traveling through Kaleva and have the privilege of visiting the Kaleva Bottle House and the Giant Grasshopper, you might as well head up the road to see this train. As you can see, I had an extremely hard time catching the train, but Erin is in great shape and had no problem!
Maybe you are not going to boot camp enough! I catch trains on my warm up lap jogging around AZ!
