Description
The Groom Cross -- officially named "The Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ" -- rises 19 stories up from the Texas Panhandle, visible for 20 miles as you approach Groom Texas on Interstate 40. The Cross and Calvary are dramatically floodlit at night, and its boosters want travelers to know that the attraction is free, has clean restrooms (available during gift shop hours), is open 24/7, and has ample parking for RVs and big rigs. What else would you expect on old Route 66?
Although we went past four times between November 2016 and February 2017, we never stopped.
