Along the interstate on the south side at mile marker 71 at the Cove Road Overpass, on Rolling Hills Drive in Wytheville, Virginia, a municipal water tower is painted to resemble a rainbow-striped hot air balloon with attached basket. It is also visible from I-81 but not directly accessible off that interstate. It is tucked into a nice little neighborhood.

Below: The big pencil is about 2 miles on Route 11 (Main Street) off of I-81 and I-77 exit 73 - Or I-81 Exit 70, then take N 4th St. to Main St. Wytheville Office Supply. The About 2 miles on Route 11 (Main Street) off of I-81 and I-77 exit 73. Or I-81 Exit 70, then take N 4th St. to Main St. Wytheville Office Supply. The impressive scribbler points down to the entrance of the office supply store, frightening those who fear impalement by a big pencil.

Neither Lee nor Karen Duquette realized that inside the office supply store, there is the world's largest working incisors and they are said to give a free post card of the pencil. Considering all the travel they have done, you would think they would research something like this before leaving the area. But they did not! Bummer!
