Geocache Description:

Big John Meet BIG JOHN of Cape Coral, Florida. One of the last of his kind.

True Americana.

Big John

Background Information

He stands 29 1/2 feet tall and weighing in at 6000 lbs, as he watches over the Big John Shopping Plaza. He used to hold two grocery bags, but since Big John's Grocery Store went out of business he no longer has to carry that burden. He came to Cape Coral in 1969. Over the years he has had his head fall off (1969), been granted offical citizenship (1971), and dressed as a ghost, for Halloween.


Big John is one of twelve brothers orginally made in Missouri.
