YOU CAN REALLY GET A-HEAD ON ROUTE 66, OR AT LEAST GET YOUR PICTURE TAKEN WITH ONE.

Say “yes” to Historical route 66 in Kingman which represents the open road, the freedom, and the possibility for The American Dream and let your imagination soar!

Artist & former New Jersey resident Gregg Arnold has given people another reason to stop and just enjoy the views from the top of Antares Road, where you can watch the dust devils spiral up to the sky and glide over the untainted valley and up to the towering and majestic Music mountains and the Grand Wash Cliffs.

When asked why sculpt an Easter Island Icon on the corner of his property Arnold simply stated “Somebody had to. And besides, isn’t that what Route 66 is all about? Why not give people an unexpected surprise when they round the corner? I lived my whole life on the East Coast where everyone is piled up on top of each other and when I realized how much space is out here I knew I had to do something big and fun.” So fun in fact, that Trotter R.V. Sales of Kingman recently shot a commercial featuring Headicus.

The Kingman/ Hackberry section of 66 has recently seen quite a few changes and renovations. Everywhere you look there is new housing, new projects, and the re-vamping of old structures that have all breathed fresh life into the deserving Mother Road.

As you go east from the Kingman airport and industrial center you get an eyeful of open spaces, passing cattle and horses, and quite commonly you see trains that are literally miles long and stacked 2 high.

Trains on the right and mountain ranges on the left wind the traveler around to a bend in the road that signals their arriving at Headicus’s home, a fantastic A-frame building that was previously a restaurant and fuel stop in 66′s hey-day and is currently under renovation, complete with original sign, where Arnold says that people are welcome to stop and take their picture with his giant green head.
