Thanks for posting this. Talk about a fullsize! I've actually been all the way out the Steese Highway when I was 11 but don't remember seeing it.

It's on the west side of the road in the Gold Daughters parking lot. After I drove by a few times I started looking into what that huge thing was.

Thanks for sharing! I love the innovation and outside of the box thinking back then, those guys didn't over-analyze things on paper, they got after it and tried it.
