Since I've been asked in person, and PMed about the exact location of the Texas Mac Memorial Cross when members haven't been able to locate it while riding on Hwy 28, I measured it last Friday..........

Coming from the Deals Gap Store on Hwy 28: 9.8 miles on your right

Going toward the Deals Gap store on Hwy 28: 22.6 miles on your left

It looks like this:

Hope this helps with locating it next time you are riding the area and don't get to attend T-Mac........... http://www.vfrdiscus...tyle_emoticons/default/smile.gif

Thanks David, someone has the GPS coordinates also somewhere?

BTW when you say "Going toward the Deals Gap store on Hwy 28: 22.6 miles on your left" what is your start point reference for this 22.6 miles?

Coming from Fontana Village heading south, it's basically at the end of the first 180 deg. left turn when you start down the hill after entrance to Fontana Village on your right.

Hard to believe how much time has passed.

That red and white pole in the first photo should serve as a good landmark too. I hope to see the cross someday.

WOW it has been a long time! I should bring some new bolts to replace the ones rusting. Last year I didn't get to make it down to clear the weeds off the site. Tough year at work... This year I plan to make a regular trip to this area.

I am glad to see the cross is standing the test of time. I am also grateful that the cross has not been removed by the State road crew or some other persons.

Hope to ride with you guys again some day! :blink:
