Whitefish

Greetings From Whitefish Montana. We've found a little coffee shop here with a computer, so thought we would give a quick update on our trip.

Whitefish is a great little Montana town. We came here to buy train tickets at the Amtrak Station. We will be taking a short little trip from West Glacier, to East Glacier on Wednesday. After spending one night in East glacier, we will return late the next day to West Glacier, where we are also now staying. We are staying in the silver Wolf Resort, in a very nice little log cabin. were we spent a very restful first night. It's really cool to not have a lot scheduled and to really be able to relax.

Wuffhound woman here, what a great trip. Last night we ate at a place called the Rawhide Steak House right outside of West Glacier. They are debating closing down for the season, and many places are closed. It gave us the opportunity to really talk to the people. Like the 77yo gentleman who was working in the Gift Shop portion. He shared a story of going to the Grand Ole Oprey in his youth. He said he was invited on stage to sing with Minnie Pearl. He talked about meeting Hank Williams and Roy Acuff. He then topped off the story by yodeling a song for us. He told us a story from his career as an auctioneer, a woman told him to "kiss my - --" and he told her " darlin I would love to, but I only have 10 minutes and there's about 40 acres to cover!"

I have seen more stuffed critters in 24 hours here then I have seen in my life. It is very apparent how the local community supports each other and we heard stories about the Fireman's Ball that occurred the night before we arrived. I am relaxed and life is good, the only thing missing is our pooches. We hear from Ruth our house sitter that Heartman follows her everywhere and has expressed interest in crocheting, while Guido hangs to the yard probably pissed off that we aren't at home. More to come....
