Anyone who has traveled
America's vast interstate highway system has almost certainly seen
them:
The ominous White Crosses that pepper the desolate roadways.
Being a well-traveled musician from
the Indie band Noodle Muffin,
I frequently encountered these road memorials during long treks across
the
Western U.S. badlands. These white crosses are everywhere
... hiding among the desert shrubs, lurking around treacherous bends,
decorating empty stretches of road ... Each
monument evokes a slew of unanswered questions: How did the
accident happen? Who were the victims?
Why do their families and friends decorate and maintain these
crosses?
The
lonely mystery and sad beauty of the monuments are
irresistable. On this website, you can explore dozens of road
memorials. I've put as much information as I can deduce from the
monuments, and there are even a few cases
where the riddle has been solved, thanks to Internet searches and
diligent visitors.
So, pull up a chair, grab a brew, and prepare to journey down the
tragic
highways of America. Oh, and for a soundtrack to your morbid
journey, be
sure to download some cool,
free MP3's from my band
Noodle
Muffin, and visit our
MySpace and Facebook pages. Enjoy!

UPDATE 4/8/2008:
TragicHighways.com (AKA White-Crosses.com) is now on Facebook! Check out the
site and become our friend! UPDATE 4/5/2011: Okay, I admit it ... I've seriously neglected this website, but thanks to a little inspiration, I'm finally updating the website with numerous white crosses I encountered during a recent trip to South Carolina. It's amazing ... every single cross I ran into was a stereotypical "white" white cross, definitely lacking the originality of the California roadside memorials. There was one rather creative monument though ... the family planted a live rose plant at the memorial. Also, I'm adding photos from my recent trip up north to Visalia, CA, where I found an amazingly beautiful white cross from a young girl who died a few months ago (September 2010). UPDATE 3/8/2008: Added info to "None Shall Pass" monument based on an e-mail from Genesis Dycoco's friend. UPDATE 8/19/2007: Thanks to "Nerdy
Net
Sleuth" Valerie, several of these White Cross mysteries have been
solved! I've updated the corresponding pages and labeled them as
"Solved by Val".
