This big guy is the sculptural mascot of the Lumbermen’s chain of restaurants in Northern California. This one is in Willits. The view is better than the food. Competitive Timbersports on the video monitors…

Mmm…picnic pig. Rolls off the tongue. Sight seen outdoors at The Chief, a NorCal BBQ joint on the US 101. Oink! For tasty (human) breakfast bears, click here.

On a Mission…surveilling Mormons!

Two Latter Day Saint boys walking in Willits, California. They could be walking to a gym, one to beef up the other to trim down. That would be a good idea. They could be walking to a motel, to check in and fuck each other silly. That would be great! But probably…they are just out to make more Mormons. Everybody needs a hobby. Messing with Jack Mormons is a good one! Surveilling Saints is another. For hunky shirtless Mormon men, visit Mormons Exposed, where you can buy a beefcake calendar called “Men on a Mission.” More soon…

Real Urban Cowboy…Really

He got onto his horse and he rode into the city. Hat, boots, bandana, duster, even spurs: this dude’s got it all. No event. He’s just riding through town. A sight seen in Willits, California. Hippies, cowboys, farmers, bikers in a Far West mix. In Mendocino County, a town with 5 stoplights qualifies as a city. Seriously. This is NorCal. Not LA. You know what they say…save a horse. Ride a cowboy!

Another Giant Lumberjack on US 101

Icons often outlast their inspirations. Lumber and fishing long since gave way to wine and weed in California’s Mendocino County. This restaurant mascot lumberjack walks roadside forever in Willits. And he’s not the only giant lumberjack on the 101: here is another.
