Dr. Bear,

I think you may be referring to a ghost town on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, located on the river of the same name:

Humptulips,.

I've been there. Never saw any tulips, much less..........

You just need to know where to look.

... and, of course, Penistone.

Note that the first syllable is pronounced as "Penn".

Oh! I thought "castra" meant...um...never mind.

Hmm, can you sing a few bars?

Hi

If you still have room after those steaks for one more odd place-name...

Here in Canada we have Dildo, Newfoundland. It's for real.

Never been there, so don't know why or how...

Now I DO know a bit more about Dildo Newfoundland:

The name is thought to have come from:

(a) A similarly-named place in Portugal or Spain -or
(b) An Algonquin (native) name for a tree -or
(c) The shape of the headland that forms Dildo harbour.

From a Wiki on Dildo, (the place):

"The town's unusual name has brought it a certain amount of notoriety[1] in the same vein as Fucking, Austria, Anus, France, Hell, Michigan, and Hell, Norway..."

From another article: "We celebrate Canada Day and our own Traditional Dildo Days..."

Cheers and giggles....

I don't know if I'll ever visit. Seems to give off a bad vibe....
