Paul Bunyan's Sweetheart Lucette

I just saw her last weekend -- she still looks great! Paul Jr., however, was nowhere to be found. There was no one close by to ask his whereabouts. There is also a cute log carving of Paul Bunyan that was painted.

If you are using it as a rest stop like we were - maybe make other plans. The bathroom situation is less than ideal!

Paul Bunyan's Girlfriend

Some years back, Lucette's head fell off (I think due to a storm). The people of the town decided to put up a new statue of her. They explained her absence by saying she was with child. The new statue has miniature Paul next to her -- Paul's child.
