A 100-foot cottonwood tree obstructs drivers from all directions, offering a unique sight and a good spot to get out and stretch your legs.
Legend has it that a surveyor marking the lines between Cass and Audubon counties relied on the only tool at his disposal -- a walking stick made from a cottonwood sprout, which was placed into the ground and took root.
Today, the tale and the tree stand tall still, at this tucked-away spot near the Western Skies Byway.
