The answers to the photos:
Top: Park outside of Frazee, and home of the world's largest turkey!
Middle: Fountain in New York Mills. The town is on the Northern Divide. Water flows either north or south.
Bottom: Prairie Wind Middle School in Perham.
What brings these towns together? Highway 10. The towns are about 10 miles apart.
