Raymond Wildlife Heritage Sculptures Corridor

Driving south on these inner coast roads, one sees mile after mile of forests in the cycle of harvest in Raymond,Washington.

In case you ever wondered, this is where paper comes from.

Raymond's roadside attractions are not crafted in wood though, but in metal.

Along Highway 101, the "Raymond Wildlife Heritage Sculptures Corridor" is a display of dozens of rusty metal cutouts -- a mixture of area wildlife and logging industry scenes.

The "Town of Metal People" are metal, 3-dimensional figures sprinkled through town.

The subject matter seems to result more from the whimsy of the artists than any historical figures from the region's history.

One shows a photographer with a camera and telephoto snapping some wildlife.

Another depicts a girl feeding an ice cream cone to a large dog/wolf.
