McNut rd in Humptulips Washington is by far one of my favorite roads I have randomly seen while driving around Washington.

If you Kickapoo, don't forget to Chuckanut before you Humtulips.

Humping two lips is better than humping one.

Thank you for sharing the context of the name

I had to know, so maybe others felt the same way.

One of the few places in the state I’ve never seen

A couple years ago there was a post on here about some people (possibly a couple?) who said it was their goal to visit every city in WA state and now I see why lol. This sounds like a fictional place.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humptulips,_Washington

> The name Humptulips was the name of a band of the Chehalis tribe who lived in the area. The name comes from a local Native American language, meaning 'hard to pole', referring to the difficulty local Native Americans had poling their canoes along the Humptulips River.[3] According to other sources the word means 'chilly region'.[4] It has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names.[5]
