Saturday, February 25th, 2023, we woke to lots of wind and cold but a beautiful sunny day so another road trip was in order.
Part of the original Route 66 still exists north/northeast of Kingman so that is where we headed.
OH-OH! Lots of wind and dust:
We went thru it – Yikees! Could hardly see!
Our first stop was the Hackberry General Store:
The store was a cross between a Route 66 museum and a gift shop. We looked thru the inside and found “Charlie” the cat who we were told is the owner or rather “the boss”. LOL! We had a nice chat with the owner (not Charlie) about the store and the area.
There was so much to see outside but it was so windy and cold that we put this on our schedule again.

Our next stop was Kozy Corner:
To see GIGANTICUS HEADICUS:
“GIGANTICUS HEADICUS,” IS A GIANT, tiki-style head constructed in 2004 by area artist Gregg Arnold. The statue is 14 feet tall and crafted from cement, chicken wire, and Styrofoam. This unique work of art can be found in Antares Point near Kingman, Arizona, along Route 66. It’s adjacent to the former Kozy Corner Trailer Park.
We went into the little gift shop for a look around. There is also a small restaurant but is seasonally closed - will open in April. Outside were some interesting and quirky sculptures but it was so cold and windy, we called it a day. In the picture below, you can see the dust blowing at the base of the mountain.
We will be back to take in this area again – LOL! There is so much more to see and experience.
Back home, we just hung out and tried to stay warm.
On Sunday, February 26, we did the normal stuff… laundry and groceries. Tomorrow we head south so stay tuned and enjoy today.
