Yesterday - Chiropractor, dog walk, eye appointment, lunch with friend, dog walk, Costco, Grocery, home - a LONG day “out” for this home body! BUT… weather!!! rain, clouds, blue sky, sun - everything and clean, crisp, fresh air! I took a LOT of photos but was hampered considerably by the eye appt which included dilation of both eyes. I was reduced to absolute trust of my camera. (my eye contines to be fine…one more check…)
The day started as a rainy, socked in day. Mid-morning, the clouds lifted enough to show some blue patches and snow levels plenty low for early October! If things keep up the 2 local ski resorts should be extremely happy! As I moved from here to there and back there were areas of squalls - looked like snow vs rain ??? Judge for yourself below:
Whitefish Train Station - Amtrak - it seems SO old-fashioned - especially inside - something from another era. I took Amtrak to Seattle several times in ‘97-98 when I was working with a consulting company there. The train leaves Whitefish early evening - and arrives Seattle 7 a.m.ish. I always got a sleeper - took minis of scotch, my Walkman (the iPod of the 90’s!) and enjoyed the comfy-coziness of the tight quarters. There was a 1-2 a.m. stop in Spokane, WA where I usually woke for a bit. I’d then wake early enough before Seattle to shower and change before arrival. It was a unique experience! …. first photo below is the train station, ski area in the background is Big Mountain.
More Whitefish - Big Mtn and Whitefish Main St.
