                                          Most states have a town called Climax. There is one in Michigan i pass when driving Toronto <-> San Diego off of I94 between Kalamazoo and Battle Creek. Kinda funny to see signs "Climax 10 miles" ... "Climax 1 mile" ...cmk Save the whales - collect the whole set
