I live in the middle of a very small county, very rural area, mostly farmland and cows, we have no other industry here. The population of the entire county is probably only 8 or 9 thousand, but we do have a very nice lake here. On holiday weekends it is an absolute zoo, these fools come from everwhere and think that they own the joint. Flying up and down roads like it's the damn Daytona 500. They're rude as shit, obnoxious little bastards. We need their money here, but I'm damn sure glad to see em leave. I can't wait till tomorrow and they all go home.

Small town, not much going on during the winter but there is a nice lake and every September is the Walnut Valley Festival. Huge flat picking & bluegrass festival, people come from literally all over the world. It's essentially one giant party the entire month of September; most of the out-of-towners get their hotel & camping spots early and invade the town. Full disclosure: I'm die hard rock 'n roll & have never been but if anyone's interested, open invite to come out here (we're east of town, away from most of the crazy). www.wvfest.com/ |

We finally convinced dad to stop after an hour of begging. It turned out to be a petting zoo for freak animals and a fiberglass gopher that stood about 20 feet tall. They had a 6 legged cow there with the back 2 legs just hanging off it's rear. Scared the crap out of me at 6 years old. From that point on, me and my sister would count the chicken legs on the table before we ate supper. |

I live about 5 miles from the Buffalo National River. Nations first National River and right now you couldn't start to count he number of lobster colored tourist on the river. The farm border National Forest with Richland Creek gets up the kayakers are a thick enough you can't cross the only bridges on the creek. We have the Ozarks Highland Trail runs from Ft Smith to The Buffalo so you have lost hikers now and then. You all can have my share of the tourist.

Since the American WW2 vets have dwindled in numbers and/or advanced in years it's not nearly so bad around here. Used to be the highway was one motorhome tailgating the next for miles every summer. That was a frustrating deal trying to travel somewhere, you couldn't pass just one you had to pass them all.
Hunting season brings on wave after wave of strange vehicles and faces and it's own special set of problems. Wouldn't be so bad but it seems like there is a season for something 10 months of the year now.

I shyt you not, my parents (mid to upper 80's) recently stopped in western KS to see the world's largest ball of twine.  x men days of future past sentinel |

What's even funnier to me now is, we knew that chicken came from the yard and we didn't have any 3 legged chickens. But if my granny cooked a chicken and a half we dang sure wouldn't eat.
