I volunteer at the Arlington, TX visitors center and several times a year we can count on someone coming in looking for the Arlington National Cemetery. We also get a lot of questions that have nothing to do with tourism or visiting the area.
LOL! I too volunteer at our local visitor center in the High Sierra of California and we have people come in the middle of December and January wearing shorts and sandals wanting to know of "a good mountain trail to hike" while looking out the front window of the visitors center, you can clearly see a life threatening, horrendous, blizzard going on in the nearby 14,000' peaks.
We too get questions about places that are hundreds of miles from our area, like "When does the Grand Canyon open?"
