Trees of Mystery

7.31.09
This was one of the most interesting INTERACTIVE parks I have ever seen. We arrived at the Trees of Mystery an hour before it closed, and had the greatest time "speaking" with Paul Bunyan. It reminded me of the "talking tree" at the Boise Festival of Trees, where a mystery person is hiding somewhere, and is speaking for the tree. In this case, it was a giant Paul Bunyan! Trey was terrified but Tian loved it! Paul would talk to people as they entered the park, he would wave, answered anyone's questions, and would sometimes even sing a little jingle.



Tian sitting on Paul Bunyan's boot with AND without the squishy face!
This is about as close as Trey ever got to Paul. He would shout at Paul, asking him questions, and miraculously, Paul could hear Trey's questions!
His right hand would wave at people as they walked by.

Paul Bunyan



Some interesting facts:
*Paul is 49 ft. tall, has a 24 ft. long ax, and 10 ft. high boots

Just to get an idea of how tall Paul really is, you can see me standing at the base of Paul, putting Tian on his boot!
