We made it to the site of the GE windmill project in Earl Park, Indiana this morning at 7:30am and here we still are. The staging area was packed with other oversize loads, engines, blades, bases, and other hubs just like ours. We waited, and waited, and slowly some of the other drivers were escorted to windmill locations in the area as other trucks continued to arrive. After about 5 hours, we called for an update and were told they would not be able to get to us until 
tomorrow.Oh Vay....... Thank goodness for a fully stocked pantry, water, and satellite TV.
On our travels Thursday, we were blessed with a beautiful sunrise. At a rest area I had to take a picture of this truck for my good friend Bob (Opie). I think he will get a kick out of it. Lastly, we passed what is now the largest cross in the western hemisphere. If you recall a post from last year, Groom, Texas held that honor until, Effingham, Illinois erected this cross which is just under 200 feet tall and eight feet taller than the one in Texas. Who knows how long they will be able to hold onto the honor of having the tallest
cross. After all, there has to be another city just chomping at the bit to build a taller one, and I'm sure they will have God's blessing.

You're right, I did get a BIG kick out it. Just my way of keeping an eye on you, perhaps.
Say, have you passed the big statue of Jesus made famous in the Heywood Banks song, "Big Butter Jesus?" (Check out bob&tom.com).
