Big Sky Country

It's not too late. You can still hitch a ride on the Empire Builder to Whitefish, Montana for the Big Sky Country Antique Fair.

I've taken that train ride and it's fun. You leave Spokane in the wee hours and watch the sun rise just before you pull into Whitefish.

By the time the sun sets you could have something old and wonderful to bring home with you.

I stayed at the Grouse Mountain Lodge and had a wonderful time. Makes me wish I could toss the to-do list waiting for me at home and get aboard.
