The address was a little confusing to the GPS on my Blackberry and we had to backtrack a bit. The clock was in front of Geppetto&#8217;s Top of the Hill Shop. Not sure they were in business or not, a little uncared for appearance though there were vehicles around. One extra benefit was the town of Pilsen was right down the road (9 miles or so) and being a 100% Czech I just had to have my photo taken with the town sign. Not much there, a dozen house, a church and auto repair shop. No bar? I thought that was strange.<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_1901\" style=\"width: 173px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jimsbigthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/10clock.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1901\" data-attachment-id=\"1901\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.jimsbigthings.com\/?attachment_id=1901\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jimsbigthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/10clock.jpg?fit=1440%2C2653\" data-orig-size=\"1440,2653\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon PowerShot A520&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1280502771&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5.8125&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0025&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Geppetto&#8217;s Big Clock\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;10clock &#8211; IMG_0581&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Geppetto&#8217;s Big Clock&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jimsbigthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/10clock.jpg?fit=145%2C267\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jimsbigthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/10clock.jpg?fit=494%2C910\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1901\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jimsbigthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/10clock.jpg?resize=163%2C300\" alt=\"clock\" width=\"163\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jimsbigthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/10clock.jpg?resize=163%2C300 163w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jimsbigthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/10clock.jpg?resize=556%2C1024 556w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jimsbigthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/10clock.jpg?resize=81%2C150 81w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jimsbigthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/10clock.jpg?w=1440 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 163px) 100vw, 163px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1901\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Geppetto&#8217;s Big Clock<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the 2009 Wisconsin trip we stopped and grabbed this shot of the &#8220;World&#8217;s Tallest Grandfather clock.
