Giant Green Olive
It looks like the olive is now being maintained, as it appears to have been freshly painted. When I pulled onto Hall Road I had to find a good spot to park, because it was very muddy and I didn't want to be too near the corner. I also wanted to be mindful of the farmland surrounding the olive!

Visited in July 2023. Desperately needs a fresh coat of paint!
[Greg Parsons, 08/08/2023]The paint is peeling off the front; the olive doesn't look like it's been maintained. Make sure to find a safe place to pull over. There are three highway crosses right near it from people being killed by the side of the road.

Just on the shoulder. No real parking at the olive -- be careful. The highway speed limit is 55 mph.

Takes 5 minutes to get there from I-5, but the giant olive is a good photo.
