Monday nights are ‘burger night’ at the Whitefish Moose Lodge and probably the biggest night of each week too. Last Monday I came back from the gym to find the parking lot and the Lodge full and missed all the excitement. This week I made sure to be a part...
I have a concert that I want to go to in Post Falls Idaho on the 21st, so I have had to decide on getting to Post Falls 5 days ahead of the concert, or hang out here in Whitefish Montana for a few days. My Mother says to me...
A tramp can only handle seeing the same scenery for so long before it must change. The look of his blog is no exception. So, with that, is a simple change to a simple layout… for now. I may tinker with some other looks over the next week (since I...
First things first… Tim and Imelda are OK (and I am 1000 miles away). So far, no water has intruded into their lives any more than getting a few days off work and school. I spent much of the evening talking with them on Skype, going over plans of what...

I kept hearing about how the Many Glacier area of Glacier National Park is where the best hiking is, and I have no doubt of that. It also happens to be where most of the glaciers are, of the ones that still exist. Visiting this area was the primary reason...
My mapping software showed only a circular road here. Google Maps shows that it is the Malmstrom Air Force Base Recreation Area (map below). I found one reference to it online that it once was a military-only RV park turned commercial RV park. It is neither of those now, just...
Going-to-the-Sun Road is the only road that crosses Glacier National Park going over the Continental Divide at Logan Pass. It was completed in 1932. The road, both a National Historic Landmark and a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark, spans 53 miles (85Â km) across the width of the park. The road is...
