Perhaps you ve seen him, He stands over I-40 in West Amarillo reminding everyone about their second amendment rights as he looks over the Cadillac Ranch R.V. Park. The Second Amendment Cowboy is a throwback to a bygone era when more of his kind dotted the landscape all along Route 66 and many of the other highways across the USA.

Second Amendment Cowboy actually is on his second stop coincidentally here in the Yellow City which his shirt proudly represents. So how did he get here? where was he before?
He s actually a Muffler Man

YORK, Maine The fiberglass head of a watchful Paul Bunyan sits atop a weathered tree stump near an empty field on a quiet back road, dutifully looking after the nearby river and the community.
Like many old tales, the history of where this statue was placed first and how it came to rest in its current spot has little documentation and relies heavily on oral accounts, including from family of the property owners, neighbors and giant statue fans. Details are hard to come by and even harder to confirm.
The family of residents David and Sharan Gross, who own about 100 acres where the bodiless statue head is now perched alongside Birch Hill Road near the York River, would like for now to keep the statue s story within their small circle, according to their daughter, Amanda Bouchard, who described the giant head as a benevolent presence.
