PI-074: A Postcard from Paul Bunyan, Babe, and the Roadside Stop You Never Forget

I love postcards like this because they do not just show a place, they show a whole kind of travel that still lives in people’s heads. Long drives. Packed cars. Cool air coming in the window. Everyone watching the road and the tree line, waiting for something that makes you say, “Pull over. We have to see this.” That is what this postcard captures. It takes us to Klamath, California, out on Highway 101, where the redwoods start feeling bigger, darker, and more endless the farther you go. In a landscape already full of giants, someone had the bright idea to put two more giants right beside the road, not hidden, not subtle, and not easy to forget. Front and center is Paul Bunyan, towering over the parking lot like a welcoming host. Next to him is Babe the Blue Ox, just as bold, just as impossible to ignore. The text on the postcard even gives you the numbers, the kind of fun facts gift shops love to print because they make the whole thing feel official. Paul is listed as a 49-foot host. Babe is listed at 34 feet. The postcard calls it “tons of fun,” and that is the exact attitude these roadside stops were built on. Trees of Mystery sits right in the middle of a classic American road trip tradition. Once cars became the normal way families traveled, highways turned into long strings of small towns, diners, motels, scenic pull-offs, and oddball attractions. Places along the road learned fast that beauty alone was not always enough. Travelers needed a reason to stop, stretch, take a photo, buy something small, and keep moving...
