Whitefish

It was a beautiful day for wandering around Whitefish, MT. Norm rode his bike around a bit while Gary, Barb and I went window shopping. Then the guys found a fly-fishing store while we gals enjoyed our own time.

We saw the last building Frank Lloyd Wright designed. My Dad was totally enthralled by him and the house my Mom lives in was designed by Dad to be in the Frank Lloyd Wright style.





Lodgepole pines are the dominant tree in this part of the state. It seemed strange to see a logging truck full of these skinny trees rather than the huge ones we are used to in CA.






We ordered lunch at a Pizza place that had a delightful young gal taking orders. We all enjoyed talking with her. This sign is the new Montana rule regarding customers drinking alcoholic beverages.



We then took our lunch to a lakeside park and enjoyed a very peaceful environment as we ate.

On the way home from Whitefish we found a place that served homemade huckleberry pie, so we indulged and were delighted with the wonderful new flavor treat.

Barb made another fantastic dinner which ended with a light sprinkle of rain. It was light enough that it didn't deter these Pacific Northwesterners--we just sat there and enjoyed it. Then we had a lightning show, but could not hear thunder so it was obviously far away.

Tomorrow we go our separate ways as we wind our way home. It has been a wonderful experience with long time friends.
