I think that only comes off if you can pass for a local. At least here in Ohio, the better part of rural people are raging xenophobes, who live in the boonies to get away from Those People. It may be different where you live.
The National Parks and other attractions are better though, and they do expect Others to come down on occasion, so their presence isn't met with as much resentment as you would have going to a non-chain diner.
No, that's not so much the case here. We have those types here but they're a small minority. It's true most people here are conservative and religious but they're also friendly and will go out of their way to help a stranger. I've had people pull over to offer me help when I've stopped along a rural road just to read a map or find something in my car. That's common here.
