tourism snafu
Come to Wyoming – I Mean, Montana
By Dana Green, 4-17-06
The May issue of Sunset magazine listed five top Montana campgrounds – unfortunately, four of them were actually in Wyoming near Yellowstone National Park.
What gives? Well, the editors were full of apologies and mea culpas, and Montana’s tourism director brushed off the mistake, pointing out that the surrounding states all lay claim to Yellowstone, and the error only stokes the friendly rivalry between the two states.

Comments
Several other inconsistencies were noted in the Sunset Magazine article about National Parks. Perhaps we should invite the article's author to actually visit some of the places described in the May issue.
