Since I'm a Minnesota native, I needed to see Paul Bunyan's younger brother. Definitely worth the trip off 62, with a winding road passing some pretty epic rural living. Got offered a beer by local townsfolk and get some pretty good town history from him.

The Big Logger Twins are still out at the Jackson County Fair Grounds in Central Point, Oregon right along I-5 just north of Medford. They are just huge and fun, perfect examples of Roadside America. The 7/18/09 Medford Mail Tribune had a column on the twins with some background.
"The 37 foot tall tin loggers, which were once used to advertise a now-defunct heavy equipment sales firm along Highway 99 near the Sage Road intersection in the 1940s, were moved to their present site at the Expo early in July 1994. The Bunyan Brothers were placed there as a symbol of the timber industry by the Eugene F. Burrill Lumber Co. of White City, the last independently owned lumber mill in Jackson Count. It closed in 1998"
