Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox on top of a building Original snapshot from the 1950s St. Ignace, Michigan

This appears to be a kind of ratty Paul and Babe seated on the roof of an abandoned house with primitive,made by hand identifying signs. Not only is big Paul seated, he’s surrounded by wire fence to thwart intimate encounters.Babe looks a little tipsy too. Despite working with a fuzzy amateur photograph, I’ve tracked them to Castle Rock, Michigan. Look close and you can make out the rock upper left. At some point in Babe and Paul were moved to a new place within a fence, but the shack is gone. I have found a similar photo atop the shack claiming to be from 1953…but haven’t found when he was originally built. Some sources say “in the 1950s” To see a post with lots better Pauls, see: https://dulltooldimbulb.blogspot.com/2009/04/paul-bunyan-fakelore-urban-legend-and.html Original fuzzy snapshot photo of Paul Bunyan and Babe at Castle Rock, St. Ignace MI.
