Barely visible from the road. Signs and a rope indicating no trespassing/private property so we respected this and did not get close.
[Leeandpaul, 10/08/2024]The Muffler Man's ax was missing when we visited in August 2024. He's off of the main road, inside a Cub Scout camp.

Visiting this Bunyan comes with an adventurous, scenic road trip, especially if you're traveling east and drive through Palisades State Park. It has a trespass-y feel since you have to pass the front gate and enter the scout campground, but he stands immediately after the entrance, across from a few administration buildings. Despite his sun-faded paint, the rumors about his painted-on chest hair are true. Past entries about his falls into the nearby lake seem confirmed by the mossy dirt patches on his face and arms, as opposed to the dry paint chipping I've seen on other Paul Bunyan Muffler Men.

Paul Bunyan is still alive and well. Getting a little mossy on the arms, though.

The Boy Scout Camp Mascot Muffler Man is alive and well, standing sentry at the camp. As previously noted, he does indeed have some chest hair poking out of the top of his shirt. Muy macho.
