At some point in the last month this safe medication disposal box showed up at the Police Station.

Old railroad bed
July 9, 2018
Looks like the City is about to perform some road work on these odd depressions in West Oak Street. By coincidence, or not, this particular swath is where the Henry McCleary Timber Company's railroad was until the 1930s. The railway ran south between present day 4th and 5th streets and then turned east all the way to Mud Bay, more of less following what is now State Route 8. Vestiges of the old railway bed can still be seen in the empty lot in the background of this photo.
Although the photo has failed to really capture it, this road marking is an inadvertent and wonderful piece of abstract art.

Float cockpit

A peek inside the McCleary Bear Festival float cockpit reveals what appears to be a highly modified 1980s era Chevrolet Cavalier.

The Day After

A close-up view of the McCleary Bear Festival float the day after the parade. Lots of hard work and dedication behind these rolling displays that must be labors of love for the volunteers.

Haunted ambulance
July 8, 2018.
This 1962 Pontiac served as an ambulance in the Raymond area many decades ago. The card describing this unusual vehicle during the McCleary Bear Festival car show claims the ambulance is "haunted." Love the skeleton adornment.

2018 McCleary parade float

The McCleary Bear Festival had a safari theme this year. I see a "wild bear" is also on the float.
