The Legend of Bigfoot

After the Drive-Thru Tree, the roadside attractions grew increasingly stupid. Not that that bothered us, of course.

“The Legend of Bigfoot” had a promising name, but just turned out to be a store that sold such lawn decorating essentials as plaster gnomes and all-weather Elvis busts. Their true specialties were big wooden sculptures of bears. Talk about false advertising: we learned nothing about the legend of Bigfoot. They had a couple of wooden Bigfoots, but their feet were barely bigger than mine.

All of the large wooden sculptures were advertised as being entirely constructed with chainsaws! We even saw a guy taking a saw to a big hunk of wood that looked decidedly more bear-like with each swipe of the great beast.

Man true, I forgot about that!

I also seem to have misplaced the excellent photo of you looking slackjawed between two slackjawed chainsaw bear sculptures. It was one of my favorites and I had it pinned to my bulletin board for years.
