Mayhill, New Mexico and the area surrounding Taos, New Mexico are among the weirdest places I have passed through. Pretty sure the world's supply of school buses go to Taos to die in weird communal desert villages. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the earthship biotecture village!
Weirdest Western Town?

Some friends were fishing the (in)famous Bitteroot skwala hatch a few years back, and while in Darby, the clown of the bunch said "oughta' tear this town down and build a slum".
Probably - understandably - piss Darby folks off, but funny as hell............

I find it is funny that Taos and Chama , New Mexico are on both lists. I couldn't agree more. Both are different (Taos radically so), but both are so much fun to visit.
Mayhill, NM is listed as weird. I like that little community and never thought of it as weird.

Every time I drive through St. Marie all I can think about is how awesome of a fort I would have had growing up.

I hunted pronghorn several miles north of Fort Benton in MT. There were some odd farms in that region. I don't think were Amish as I saw farm equipment but those peeps gave off a vibe was best for me to have a full tank of gas and not slow down to ask directions.
I was hunting mountain goat east of Aspen, CO, and bumped into a group of structures on an old mining claim. Creepy with a lot of bad juju vibe so did a 180 and double-timed it over the ridge. No idea what was going on there but I wanted no part of a meet and greet miles from nowhere.

I think I'd have to put Portland and Seattle above all of these, when I do go to either I can't relax until I get out of town. Disclaimer: the closest town to where I now live is Paterson, population 75 or so.

Dang. I thought it was Castledale. Nonetheless, a very strange experience. You ever eat there?

Big Sky,
Stickney Creek has a distinct leg up on the Dearborn community when it comes to weirdness.

JLS, I will make a mental note to avoid Stickney Creek as Dearborn already has far exceeded my weirded out quota for this lifetime.
