Visitors traveling through Twentynine Palms will see a stack of colorful direction arrows that point to numerous locations. A few of these direction arrows have distances to their owner's state or city locations on them. Each arrow has a custom look and feel. According to my grandparents, the arrowpost has been there since at least the 1970's when they passed thru on the highway.
Historic significance: Story has it that during the Route 66 years, it was used by people as a roadside attraction to allow people a cool way to display the distance to their home state or city.
