    Updated May 6, 2022

    Out our way, folks take pride in their sense of humor, especially when it comes to "messing" with tourists. Up the road is a small town that proudly boasts "403 residents and one sore head."

We also have fun with various state ad campaign slogans in which I fear we may be more likely to confuse and even discourage tourists than attract them. I remember the "Get Lost in Montana"...
