2 for 1

We set out on what was supposed to be a 30 mile day up to Red Meadow Lake. Encouraged by the beauty of the mountain lake and the promise of a warm shower (with shampoo) and cold beer at the home of some picnicking Whitefishies, we decided to tackle an additional 30 miles to town (completing two days of riding in one). The ride became even longer as we systematically searched house-by-house through the town for our new friends home. Apparently Whitefish has more than one house with a green mailbox (the only specific information any of us could recall from the directions to the house). Our dreams shattered, we moved on to the aptly named Cheap Sleep Motel, RV Park, and campground where we set up camp behind a strip mall. We enjoyed a much needed dinner in town where our friendly waitress mistakenly offered to let us stay as long as we’d like. More than an hour past closing we were all nearly asleep in the booth when it became apparent that we should probably not take her up on her offer. We barely managed to stumble back to our RV park/campsite for the night.
