We found this sign in Conway AR which was kind of odd and at the same time not. 2 years later I finally found out it's one of the signs by Harrison Mayes. He placed those all across the US and they were supposed to be placed across the world and on all planets. This one should be placed in Algeria.


"A coal miner from Middlesboro, KY, Henry Harrison Mayes (1898-1986) spent decades driving around the country erecting giant roadside crosses. His inspiration came after surviving a mining accident in the 1920s – he decided his recovery was a miracle and aimed to spend the rest of his life spreading the word of God.

Mayes fashioned crosses and hearts by using homemade wooden molds and hand mixing and pouring concrete crosses in his backyard. He would set out for well-traveled areas and, often without permission, would dig a hole near the highway and set his massive cross in place.

Ultimately, Mayes placed wooden and concrete crosses throughout 44 different states. Many of his original crosses no longer exist because of highway expansion programs, traffic accidents, and natural erosion."
