Texas does not have the world's largest ball of twine (Darwin, Minnesota) or the world's largest frying pan (Rose Hill, North Carolina), but it does have "The Largest Cross in the Western Hemisphere." That's the trailboss at the foot, between the fifth and sixth stations of the cross, for comparsion purposes. We didn't find out the actual height of the cross because the adjacent gift shop was closed. We probably could have inquired at the Blessed Mary's Amer-Tex-Mex restaurant in Groom, but that would have meant backtracking onto Route 66, so we just pressed on. This one's for you, Sandy!
