The sign below that reads "In and out in 20 minutes or less", is a reference to the TV show Rick & Morty, where in the episode "Rest and Ricklaxation", Rick takes Morty into a green portal for a 20-minute adventure that lasts for 6 days.

If you travel southeast of the Route 66 McQuarry Hidden History spot in Badlands South, you can stumble upon a golden one-eyed monolith. This monolith is the Zohar, an important artifact from the Xeno series. The design of the Zohar in this Easter egg appears to be a combination of its appearances in both Xenogears (green eye) and the Xenosaga trilogy (more cross-shaped design of the monolith).
