Large John Muir Head Giant John Muir Head lives! He gazes roughly in the direction of Sequoia National Park from his post at the intersection of Avenue 296 (CA 198 - go figure) and CA 99 near Visalia, California. He's right there at the exit -- jammed into the southwest corner. I almost drove off the road as I witnessed such rugged majesty! And don't kid yourself - he is LARGE. I'm talking LARGE! Yeah!

Large John Muir Head This giant chainsaw carved bust of John Muir is visible from highway 99 just outside of Visalia. He watches over large piles of wood by-products and seems to know you tossed those glass bottles yesterday rather than recycling. But I'm sure he is a forgiving carving.
