He is standing by a truck. Pull in the driveway and look to the left.

I followed the directions from the tip in October 2020 and pulled into the parking lot to find him. I guess he hasn't moved in the last few years.

I went over to Groveland on October 25, 2020, and the Muffler Man has been moved from the street to the near end of the driveway (front of the back lot). Also, the company is now Northern Tree Service.

This guy's been moved from behind the trees to front and center on the street. He has an International Fiberglass stamp on his leg, and a new name tag, too!

Paul is back at it with his new ax. He stands about 14 feet tall, tucked in the trees outside Valley Tree Service, a tree removal/pruning company. Nearby attractions include restaurants, an ice cream parlor with a playground, a coffee shop, and a pick-your-own farm.
