The song makes the place sound so rustic and idyllic.  The sign, on the other hand, makes you almost feel like you're trespassing into some cult compound.  Maybe I'm just being paranoid, of course, but it was an eerie feeling to be there.  We left in haste after these pictures were taken...

Someone went to a lot of trouble to find that many white rocks and arrange them (and there's just as many on the other side of town).	As we approached, the Home on the Range looked more like a ranchette with a few hired hands - hardly something to sign about.	Perhaps it's just me, but I become skeptical anytime the sign (building, whatever) begins with "Visitors Welcome".  Any, why check in?  Is it like the roach motel, where you don't then get to check out?
