Welcome to Jeffrey City: LOST?

We took a road trip to Teton National Park and Yellostone National Park this summer. All five of us, Glenn and Ineke, and a whole bunch of stuff in the minivan. Our first American road trip as a family! It prooved educational in all kinds of ways. We learned about ancient history: Ms. Pacman!
We visited a Jeffrey City, population 51. The biggest "city" anywhere around and the only food to be found for hours, unless you wanted to kill it yourself. Good thing we were in the mood for double hamburgers and fries. The above sign grumpily answers most of the typical questions travellers to Jefferey City have, so the silent-type waitresses don't have to keep explaining. We surmise that the typical questions are " Where am I? " , "Are there ANY other towns around here?", " Oh, GOD. What is the winter like around here?" , and "What's fer eats?"

William embodies the mind-numbing boredom of a road trip as he inspects his brother's shoe for excitement.
