Photographs of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox Sculptures at the Trees Of Mystery - Roadside Attraction - Highway 101 Northern California

Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue OX


One time My Brother and Sister in Law came to Visit and we stopped at The Trees of Mystery... But we did not go inside... We just enjoyed the Gift Shop and took Photographs in front of the Giant Sculptures... Gary was on the way to go Fly Fishing on the Klamath River and Beth was visiting her sister... I learned from Gary that Salmon have a Five Year Cycle and the Massive Fish Kill caused by George Bush the son [the American Idiot] only effected one year out of Five... Gary did catch a lot of fish and we were grateful for his donation to our household... we put it in the freezer to cook "later" and somehow never did... Oh Well... 
Mural of Salmon at The Forest Cafe across the street.
I stopped there often when I was traveling to Brookings Oregon in order to Buy Legal Marijuana. There was a Year when Grass was Legal in Oregon but not in California and about every two weeks I would drive there to buy an Ounce... The law limited each purchase to be a Maximum of 7 Grams per day but there were FOUR (4) Stores in Brookings... A very pretty town... especially the Yacht Harbor...

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.

I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.

I Went to West Valley Jr. College, learned electronics drafting and got a job at System Industries in Santa Clara... I feel blessed that not only did I grow up in a great location but I also grew up at a great time. I missed the Vietnam War by ONE Year and Silicon Valley Was Hiring Like Crazy When I Needed a Job.
