I Met A Man On The Salton Sea
While I was heading south along the shore of southern California’s Salton Sea, I saw a familiar shape casting a shadow across a parking lot. I’m sure my eyes must’ve swirled with stars as he came in to view. Abruptly, I clamped on the brakes.
Before my trip, I hadn’t looked up the locations of any muffler men I might be near. And wouldn’t you know it? This one here in Mecca, California was the second I’d unexpectedly seen in as many days.
Though I was racing against the setting sun, there’s always time to say hello to one of the big fellas. I’m happy to report he appeared to be in fine shape.
They did a good job of “Westernizing” him. What kind of establishment was he outside of? What is the oddest/most creative adaptation you’ve run across?
It was some type of a mini-mart convenience store. Apparently this muffler man was decapitated and then went missing for a while.

The oddest was probably one with a clown head in Lake George.
My favorite is the Gemini Giant astronaut in Wilmington, Illinois
