There were giant Paul Bunyan and Babe statues in the parking lot. This is the third time the two RV Gypsies have come across a Paul Bunyan statue. This one is the biggest of the three, at 49 feet 2 in and 30,000 pounds. The one is Oscoda, Michigan is only 13 feet tall. The one in Bimidji, Minnesota is 18 feet tall and ways 2.5 tons. All can be seen by using the TOC button above and choosing the letter P for Paul, or by choosing the Big Oddities button. |

Below: Paul Bunyan was carved with a chainsaw. As children sat by or walked near Paul Bunyan and talked, Paul responded in a very loud voice to whatever the children said, which of course, caused a surprise reaction from everyone. |
