Muffler Man - Cowboy

We saw this Muffler Man statue in 2006 at the edge of a Go-Kart area. Didn't look like the Go-Kart place was doing so well...so not sure if he's still there or not...but he was pretty darn cool and in very good shape at the time.

Muffler Man - Giant Cowboy Guy

During the last thirty years in Spooner, WI, Giant Cowboy Guy has been spotted in various locations. I first remember seeing him selling tires at a local gas station. He disappeared for a while, but can now be seen at a go-cart/waterslide park on Hwy 63 just north of downtown Spooner. I come up to his knee, so he must be about 18-20 feet tall. I saw him there just a couple of weeks ago.
