Hey Bryan, Sadly the letters have been completely replaced since this post was written. We wrote more about the expanding town and the history of the letters in our book, but you can always use the historical images feature in Google Earth to see what used to be there!

This placemark shows a neighborhood now. I can’t find any letters anywhere. My satellite images are dated December 10, 2006. All the posts here are from 2005. Are these letters gone now?

Sorry People that is not Sun City, Arizona. It is the Community of Verrado in Buckeye, AZ. Located at the South end of White Tanks Mountains. I live just South of I-10 in Sundance. I even found my house.

The letters were actually raised up above the ground a little bit (a foot or so) with different material so nothing grew on them. This picture is dated because the housing development has almost completely erased the Catepillar sign over the past few months.

Here are some more proving grounds. Unfortunately, it is a part of the map with little detail.
