    Cool sight. It truly catches your attention driving down the road. You see it from way far away in in all directions. It’s huge a special thing to see traveling.

    Very cool place to go. I can't wait till they finish the rest of the area around the Cross. We weren't able to go into the shop that is there because it was closed. It was definitely a cool thing to see.
