Troll at 3,333.33 Feet

Located at 120 W. Beale Street, Kingman, AZ.

In Kingman, Arizona just a couple of blocks off Route 66 is the Powerhouse Visitor Center. The Powerhouse was placed in business in 1907 to generate electricity for the city. It served in that capacity until 1938 when the Hoover Dam was completed and started providing all the electricity the city needed. The building sat unused for a few years until a group of citizens rescued it and transformed it into a Visitor Center. It also houses several other organizations, including "The Historic Route 66 Museum." The Route 66 museum is interesting and worth a visit in itself, but another intriguing reason to stop is because of a marker located about 12 feet up on the wall just to the right of the entrance. That marker is exactly 3,333.33 feet above sea level.  There is nothing magical or mystical about being 3,333.33 feet above sea level. It's just something different, another roadside oddity.
