Nice placement of the mc. Makes it look that much smaller than it really is.

I've seen this guy numerous times along 135 a couple miles south of McPherson Kansas, but always from a rental car. Anyone in KS wanna get it? :)

Hi, BakerBoy referred me to this thread after I had just used this subject in a Colorado tag.

After doing some reading of the linked material he posted in a reply, I don't believe it meets the definition of a Muffler Man. However it certainly is a roadside Oversized & Oddball attraction.

This cowboy has been standing watch over the Rustic Ranch Mobile Home Park for years. He can be found at 5565 Federal Blvd, Denver CO, easily found between Interstates 70 and 76.

Here's the map, between Reno and Carson City on US 395.

I've seen quite a few oddball and oversized over the last few months on rides, but have been moving at the time and I didn't stop.

But today this huge metal sculpture of a cown skeleton was right in front of me at a stop sign. It is at the Montana Historical Society building, due east of the Montana State Capitol Building.
