Another must-see for nostalgia buffs is the Hackberry General Store near Kingman. Historic Pegasus gas pumps, Burma-Shave signs and rusted-over Model As from the early 20th century welcome visitors outside, while the inside boasts a wide variety of Route 66 memorabilia. Visit the general store on Facebook for more information.

Inspired by The Andy Warhol Diaries, welder Gregg Arnold built this 14-foottall statue—resembling a mix between an Easter Island head and a Tiki God—at the old Kozy Korner trailer park complex in Kingman. The curiosity offers a fun photo opportunity for travelers passing through.

The farthest west entry of 99 Things is a mining town on a scenic stretch of West Route 66 that went defunct but then rose again as a fun and curious tourist town. Oatman’s population of wild burros is larger than that of people, but visitors are asked not to feed them. In all, this small town makes a unique stop for hiking, photography and more. www.oatmangoldroad. org.
