Neil Gendzwill Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Johnasmo and I are riding the bike park on Saturday. Pretty sure there will be apres beers in the Stube after a few laps .:)I was just there a couple of weeks ago! Never been in summertime, very nice. Came up from the south on 93, that is one big lake! Camped a couple days at the state park on Whitefish Lake, pretty but the trains drove us nuts. Drove up the mountain to look around, had some beers on the deck of the Stube. Considering purchasing property there but may not happen due to all the complication involved, plus not so much with the bargains there as a few years ago. Seems like a lot of development going on right now, not a good sign if we're looking to be in a buyers' market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yes, sad to say, I think Whitefish is going to be the next Fernie. You might as well jump in now, as I don't think it's going to improve. I can't get over how packed the place is in the summer, and how expensive the hotels are! I'm used to the winter prices, and I was stunned when I looked at hotels for this trip. We're camping at the KOA because anything close to town was either full or ridiculously expensive, and even the campsite is $46 per night.

Neil Gendzwill Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 The state park campsite was $23/night, but for the sake of your sleep don't go there. There was 4 or 5 trains each night in between 10 and 12, then 1 or 2 in the middle of the night, plus the morning ones. The rail runs right behind the permanent sites where the park hosts stay, I don't know how they stand it. It's kind of like that scene from the Blues Brothers. "How often do the trains go by?" "So often you won't notice it after a while." Or something like that. Shoulda had some dry white toast and bourbon straight up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
