A couple of weeks ago, we highlighted a pretty awesome road trip along Route 66. Most of the attractions featured showed some of the top must-see spots, so we decided that we needed to list some of the more bizarre things you can find along the old highway. Let’s take a look at how weird these sites can get!

1. Visit Oatman to feed the wild burros that roam the streets.

2. This weird, giant head in Walapai.

Lovingly named Giganticus Headicus, this green head is reminiscent of the statues on Easter Island, just without the beach. It is located on the northeast corner of Antares Road and Route 66.
3. Spend an hour or so exploring the Hackberry General Store and its collection of memorabilia.

4. Check out the eclectic Delgadillo's Snow Cap for a burger and a shake.

5. The Roadkill Cafe in Seligman.

Yes, it's a real restaurant! No, roadkill is not on the menu.
6. This supposedly haunted caboose that doubles as a hotel room in Williams.

If you want to book a stay, check out the Canyon Motel website. They also have a restored railway car available!
