BFE


BFE


Located in the middle of nowhere, and having no cultural attractions or night-life, BFE is a destination for the truly jaded adventure traveler. 



BFE does not appear on any maps, and so is nearly impossible to find. To reach it, tourists must first go past the sticks, and then travel through the boonies. Once there, they will see a vast expanse of nothing much, and somewhere in there, if they’re lucky, they will find BFE. Most travelers realize they’ve been there only after they’ve left.

The BFE Tourist and Convention Bureau offers guided tours of the area Tuesday through Saturday at 1:00 pm. Highlights include the shed with the brightly colored door, and the place where Mabel thought she saw a bobcat once.

 Why a man would go and do that to a perfectly good shed...

Yes, despite its remoteness and lack of anything of interest, BFE is inhabited. Curiously, no resident claims to live there by choice. Because of an as yet unexplained force, they have become stuck in BFE. Visitors are cautioned to be wary of this phenomenon; the best way to avoid it is to have some other definite destination in mind.  Once you are trapped in BFE, escape is very, very difficult, so unless you are resigned to a life of settin’ and scratchin’ make sure you have somewhere else to be.

    Or if their car breaks down.
