Giganticus Headicus on Route 66.

Giganticus Headicus

Field review by the editors.

Walapai, Arizona

Just when we had convinced ourselves that nothing new was being built along Route 66 that didn't leech off of the reputation of Route 66, we came upon this thing.

"Giganticus Headicus" is its name, a half-buried, 14-foot-tall pseudo-tiki sculpted of wood and stucco by Gregg Arnold, an émigré from New Jersey. It stands outside the Kozy Corner Trailer Court. Arnold reportedly intends to live in the A-frame next door.

There's also a plywood sign shaped like a rocket ship advertising the RV Court, a laundromat, Route 66, and Headicus. Another board painting of an astronaut and a cut-out hole for your face seems to be a retired photo op.

Giganticus Headicus.

Arnold claims to have other art projects in the works, but he wasn't around when we stopped by. Maybe he was down in Kingman buying more art supplies; we sure hope so.
