Muffler Man - Bunyan

During the greenhouse's off season, there was a ton of stuff stacked in front of this big guy.

Muffler Men at the Greenhouse

In an unincorporated area of McHenry, there are two Muffler Men. One has a beard and is wearing a green short sleeve shirt with blue plaid trim, with tan pants held up with suspenders. Both arms are waist high with one hand up and the other down.

The other is an Indian, bare chested, with light tan pants and he has two side braids. One arm is raised up high as if to signal "stop."

Muffler Man and Indian

I almost didn't stop... thank goodness I did! At The Greenhouse of Crystal Lake on Route 31, I only saw the Indian when I first passed. On the way back, there was a muffler man sporting a pair of hanging flower baskets.

We're going to assume these are rescued from the closed theme park in Palatine - Barrington, IL.

Bunyan at Ozzie's Water Park

Just drove by Ozzies Water Park this morning. Paul Bunyan is gone.
