Prairie Power - a photo on Flickriver

Prairie Power

            The Excelsior Lutheran Church shares the landscape with newly erected wind generators of the Post Rock Wind Project near Salina KS.

Between the I-70 exits of Vesper (216) and Sylvan Grove (209), on the south side of the highway, interstate travelers have seen a guiding light every night since 1976.  The late Gerald Klema, designer of the cross, with help from folks around Wilson, built and erected this 60-foot steel cross containing 44 light bulbs.  

Amazingly, this structure looks like a cross from any direction you view it.  The cross-bars are pipes welded in the shape of a horizontal octagon with a row of lights around it.  Mr. Klema originally used a vertical broom stick and suspended a horizontal bushel basket ring to it.  He then added Christmas lights to see if his idea would work.  It did!  The Lighted Cross stands near Excelsior Lutheran Church.
