Vandalia, Illinois - Fire Breathing Steel Dragon

This is a steel dragon approximately 30-35 foot tall and 30 foot long that breathes fire and has glowing eyes. My wife and I found him on a trip down US 40 late one night, and stopped in June of 2007 in the daylight. We were fortunate enough to have one of the builders show us how he breathed fire.
