My pink elephant research continues...

Alright, I think it's time revisit my pink pachyderm friends. 

Thus far I have found nothing but pages on Roadside America of various people spotting various elephants. I did however, find this site.

It doesn't tell much history about the elephants, mainly what has changed about them over time from where they stand now and it mentions something about ARCO gas stations that I couldn't find anymore information on. What's nice about this site though, is that in condenses all my elephants in one place so I can easily look and find their locations. It also provides links to other roadside oddities (like a rooster made of Volkswagen bumpers on 231 that I will see if I drive down to Auburn tomorrow). 

All this really does is confuse me more. It just highlights (because all my elephants are presented side-by-side) how similar they all are. They have to have some common history. I know this is a silly expedition, but I will find the common anecestor of these elephants, be it an ARCO gas station or a no-extinct chain of liquor stores, I will find it.
