Sass and I hang out near Hell often. Its about 5 miles from the lake we swim at and the Hell party store has an awesome ice cream shop that is perfect on a hot day of cycling. Never been to the bar there (its called the dam site inn) but I hear its nice. Very small town, 2 businesses ,excluding the livery (hell creek ranch).

G's had his motorcycle blessed in Hell. Its a very, very large annual event! Its at the Hell Creek Ranch.

I've been to that ice cream shop too, good stuff! We were hoping to go there today, but the bike wouldn't start. :(
