Del Norte, CA has one of the Largest Paul Bunyon and Babe the Blue Ox statues in America

I have not thought about Paul and Babe for many moons. I do remember seeing a statue of them in upper Minnesota when I was a child. For some reason, I thought that he was originated in the west as part of the logging out there. Who wudda thunk Bangor, Maine!

Thanks for the post and the history lesson.

I'd send you the photo of Paul in Bemidji, but my husband would have a hissy fit. He's doing something goofy in the photo. He's always doing something silly. He went through the roof when I posted a photograph of him online with a giant tomato on his head and green beans sticking out of his mouth, walrus-like. Sometimes I think the guy has no sense of humor. Good post, though.

Oooohhhhhh!  The memories!  I remember seeing Paul Bunyon and Babe when I was a little girl.  My parents traveled different parts of the US every year for vacation.  I remember how HUGE they were.

Thanks for the memories!

They certainly do look VERY large!

How far is Crescent City from Yellowstone National Park?  When I visited there about 10 years ago, there was something out there that looked a little similar to this, Dinosaur National Park, if I remember the correct name.  In UT I think.
