More About

Herbst holds a Guinness world record for constructing the world's largest cornfield maze, a 12.1-acre interpretation of the solar system with all nine planets. This Utah maze has beginner, intermediate and expert sections, and it takes almost two hours to escape from them all, he estimates.

Let us hope the Piasa bird is more forgiving.
