Granger, Washington is a town after my heart. In 1958 woolly mammoth bones were found in a nearby quarry. Many years later someone had the bright idea "Hey, we have these mammoth bones, let's put up a bunch of dinosaur sculptures and call Granger the town 'Where Dinosaurs Roam'". Brilliant! Nevermind that mammoths aren't dinosaurs and any trace of dinosaur fossils would have been wiped out by the previously mentioned flood basalt eruptions that covered the area several million years ago.
There are dozens of dinosaur sculptures in Granger and the local businesses have embraced the theme. It was not clear to me if the medical clinic was for dinos or people. The volcano erupting behind T-Rex is not part of the flood basalt eruption but rather houses the town park's bathroom. Said bathroom, park and T-Rex are right next to Granger's sewage treatment plant. Let's just say there was a good reason why I was the only person in the park.

It was tempting but they wouldn't fit into my carry-on luggage.
