Spine carved from tree trunk.

Enormous Human Spine

The spine is right behind Rexroth Chiropractic. My wife and I wandered around back, and she was the first to figure out what it was. The spine is carved out of an old tree. Painted white, it's a pretty good approximation of a spine.

We passed by again that night on the way out of town; it is indeed lit up.

Enormous Human Spine

This enormous replica of a human skeleton sits proudly along Highway 34 in Burlington, Iowa. The spine is lit at night so you can see it from the road.
