Far Out Places: The Crazy Mountains

Driving from her home in British Columbia to Montana,  Robin Van Gyn noticed something peculiar. Her destination, the Crazy Mountains, was nowhere to be found on any of the maps at the gas stations along the way. She thought it was a fluke at first, but it kept recurring.
