Thunderbeast Park - Chiloquin, Oregon

As we drive several times a year through Oregon on Highway 97, we pass this monstrous creature and wonder what it is and why it's there. We knew it must have been a left-over from some roadside attraction in days gone by, but what? The Hub City Chrome signs are new, in the past 8 years or so, so now it's easy to search the Internet and look the place up. I found a nice article on the Roadside America.com site which explains the place and has additional photos!

We travel a lot and on highway 97 there are several places that look to be the shambles of old roadside attractions and it's too bad they weren't kept up. But, it's nice that someone has recorded the history somewhere!

Bruce Campbell-fab fav actor!

One of my favorite actors, going back to 1993, is Bruce Campbell. I first saw him in "The Adventures of Brisco County Jr" - a great series! I was disappointed when it went off the air after 2 seasons, but then he starred in other shows - Lois & Clark, Xena, Hercules, Ellen, and then his own series "Jack of All Trades". Of course, he was already a cult hero before I discovered him, making his Evil Dead movie series starting in 1981. And now, he's in the popular USA series "Burn Notice" - yippee!

Anyway, at the San Diego Comic Con in 2006, Bruce was there promoting the DVD release of Brisco County Jr., and I was lucky enough to shake his hand, twice! It's a long story, but every time I think of it, I smile!

Here is Bruce and Julius Carry signing autographs. Look, he's a lefty - like me!
