This is a stretch of 66 that loops quite far from it's successor, Interstate 40, and its pretty desolate. Recycled signage is not unusual along here. But, finding anything even remotely suggestive of tiki is unexpected. The owner told me her son made this concrete head... ...which is named "Giganticus Headicus"... ...on the rocket-shaped sign... ...near the building that displays the photo-op ray gun-toting astronaut with the Giganticus Headicus logo. With the demise of the Polynesian Lounge in Albuquerque, I think this may be the only thing remotely tiki left on Route 66, except for Trader Vic's in LA.
