Got our kicks on Rte 66

Posted by on August 28, 2006, from Amarillo, Texas

As we drove along historic Route 66 from Amarillo to Kansas City, we drove past some curious roadside attractions.

And let us present to you…The Leaning Tower of Texas just outside of Groom, Texas.

Further out, we saw a wind farm harnessing the plentiful wind on the high plains.

And last but certainly not least, we saw this cross dotting the horizon as we headed east. At 19 stories tall, it is the largest cross in the Northern Hemisphere. Now stay seated, we know the excitement can be overwhelming.

    And not the only one of it’s kind (pointlessly large cross that is), these crazy things are all over, here’s a website for one in Effingham, IL http://crossusa.org/, I think these people might have gone a bit overboard.
