His footless condition has been improved by surrounding him with shrubbery and a tree stump. It now appears as if his feet are just hidden, rather than missing, as he walks in the vegetation. He is looking at the Mississippi River across the road.

There's a fiberglass Viking statue in front of the Viking Hotel, similar to Viking statues reported elsewhere. It holds a shield that has the Viking Carpets logo on it, and was originally used by a Viking Carpets location in Marshfield, WI. The owners of that carpet store also own the Viking Motel, so when they closed their carpet business they moved the statue to the hotel.
