Muffler Man - Indian Remains Muffler Man's remains are holding up rather well at the trading post that burnt to the ground several years ago. We stopped to pay our respects on the way to Rooster Cogburn's Ostrich Ranch. Sign at the trading post still says "Open."
On the other side of the interstate is an oddly out-of-place looking new trading post. It has the usual merchandise, but a lovely life size buffalo statue out front.
