This sign sits along highway 200 between Washburn and Center.<\/p>\n<p>I like when small towns show a sense of humor. I&#8217;ve never been interested in &#8220;the world&#8217;s largest fiberglass wombat&#8221; or other such gimmicks. That&#8217;s why you&#8217;ll never see a photo of Salem Sue or *shudder* the Enchanted Highway here. Some small towns like Hensler have a different way of grabbing attention, and it&#8217;s that ingenuity that I salute this morning.<\/p>\n<p>By the way&#8230;I&#8217;ve been posting a lot of photos from towns other than Bismarck or Mandan lately. Why do you suppose that is? Well, as summer winds down once again, it&#8217;s important to get out and look around our fair state before the winter causes us to settle in for a while. You can get up on a Saturday morning and venture out, see lots of neat sites and have a decent meal, and yet be home by early evening. That&#8217;s important to do; anyone who doesn&#8217;t appreciate North Dakota has never tried it. You&#8217;d be surprised how much there is to enjoy even within just an hour or two of our beloved cities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some say it&#8217;s north of Mandan.
