Standing on the Corner in Gallop New Mexico. (Do you think the Eagles could have written a song about him)
This cowboy can be seen as you drive along Historic Route 66. Atop the roofs of a locked storage yard. Unfortunately I could find no evidence of a plaque, It would appear to be, or used to be 'John's Used Cars' the yard was closed so could not ask about Dude Mans origins, or how he came to be there.
