How wonderful that you were able to share these pictures! Something made me think when I read how important the cross is, and someone wrote a book, “When The Crosses are Gone”, showing how important they are and the significance behind them, in preserving America.

The restoration is indeed happening……today, August 8,2010, and next weekend, August 14, 15, weather permitting, the cross is open for tours to the top for a $20.00 donation. Must be 18 years old. The view is spectacular and the opportunity is unique. Once the skin goes on the cross the chance will be gone.

Our parents use to take my little brother and I to the cross for Easter Sunrise Service. It would just send cold chills up our spins, even though we were young. I have never forgotten the old cross and hope to go there someday to see it again.

I have greatly enjoyed the pics and the stories behind them. You have a real talent for photography. These pics have made me homesick for Cape. After I met my husband I moved to Modesto, CA for about 10 years. In 1995 my husband was transferred to Sheboygan, WI and we have decided to retire here.
My maternal side of the family was from from the Scott City, Cape Girardeau, MO areas. Also the Elco, IL area. My Grandfather owned the only gas station in Elco. It was two of those hand pump or crank kind of gas pumps with the glass top. I remember when I was younger that he said pump it to the “3″ and that’s a dollar.

I was raised in Jonesboro, IL. The military brought me to Virginia Beach, VA where I now reside. But my family is all around the Anna-Jonesboro area and I come that way often. When I come back for a visit, I love to ride my motorcycle to this cross. It is an AWESOME place to visit… Thank you for recognizing such an amazing tribute to ALL faiths…
