Spooky Timbers: Curse of the White Pine

Jeff Johns and John Beltman of the Forest History Center

A dreadful curse has been placed on Paul Bunyan and the logging crew of Northwoods Camp No. 1. Something is amiss in the forest, which now seems more chaotic than enchanted. Mythical creatures are creating mischief around every corner. It's been December 15th at Northwoods Camp No. 1 for the last 40 years and no matter how hard the crew works they never make any progress. Paul Bunyan is at his wits' end, while his crew is being turned into syrup one by one. 

Can you solve the mystery that has gotten Paul and his crew into this mess?

Jeff Johns and John Beltman of the Forest History Center stopped by the KAXE studio to tell Sarah Bignall about this puzzling event.

Spooky Timbers: Curse of the White Pine runs October 18, 19, 25 and 26 at the Forest History Center in Grand Rapids.  Gates open at 6pm.  Tours are 6:30p, 7:15p, 8p, and 8:45p.
