    I can't believe you're all still here

    Just checkin out the board after years of inactivity, still skiing Logan Pass (tomorrow), had a good early season, a $hitty winter and an unbelievable Spring this year. I live in a cabin in the woods, no internet access, job has no access, so I still ride but I miss the board. My pass for 05-06 is paid for and so are my snowmobiles so now all I do is work and wait for the snow to come back to Montana, although we had fresh snow this week above 6500 feet. I hope all is well in Maggotville, it was cool to come back and see all the familiar handles, this is the worst part of the year but soon we will round the corner and head back to winter! Stay sane, the snow will return.

    Sounds totally groovy. Simple and beautiful life. I want to achieve that too...

    Thanks for the welcome back Benny, I remember you as one of the cool guys from the old school board. I must say i have missed the dialogue, it's good to see names like Dex, blurred, yoga chick, splat, phunk, bakerboy, DJ, She Ra? and the rest, I'm glad to see you're all still alive, keep on ridin' those boards.

    Thanks SheRa, I must say I am pretty happy, since I was here last I bought my own place and went Native. I only put a ? by your name because last time I was here you were pissed off and had left the board, I hope you're the same SheRa that was here 2 years ago. I haven't seen anything from iceman or D-day but I'm sure those angry phuckers are still alive.

    Logan Pass, huh. I'm still trying to get up there since the last time we talked.
    The Sun road has been open a while? Usually opens right about now.
    Where's the new digs, C Falls area? Dew Drop Inn?

    Hehe, same chick - not pissed off. You can't stay away from the family too long...

    The Pass was open splat but since they got 6-8 feet of new snow last week it has been closed till the weather turns. I am most definately getting up there as soon as it does open. And how the hell do you know about the Canyon's most prestigious establishment, the Dew Drop Inn? Some places around here scare me even as a local.

    I'm never angry, beeyatch, just kinda touchy sometimes.

    D-day is dead, although some dood named Woodsy looks a hell of a lot like him.

    Worked a summer in Many Glacier and St. Marys.
    Had a guy stick a cocked and loaded 30-30 in my face at the Dew Drop.
    That was back when the hiway went right in front of it and it was always lively.

    What the hell else do you think we'd be doing?

    Once again, splat wins with the best stories ever.

    Well, if you knew the locals that went to the Dew Drop that story would be much less surprising. Between that and Packer's Roost we've got everything from the "crazies coming out of the woodwork" to the "badass bikier" bar covered. Stoner's Inn takes the people in the middleground. Frita's up in WG is the kind of bar that most people on this board would probably hang out at around here.

    Koolade, you're a canyon critter, you're probably the guy that busted out the window of my friend's car last summer at Frita's, and yes that is the yuppy bar in the "canyon." I want my CD's back.

    The canyon is the spot where the 3 rivers of the Flathead converge. It is a scarey place, rivaled only by the most backass areas of Appalachia and possibly the Yaak in terms of number of meth labs busted in the last 5 years and the number of deliverance style families living in shacks and trailers.

    I'm glad to say that I wasn't living in the canyon last year Danimal so it couldn't have been me. Apparently even Frita's is starting to get creepy lately though, and your story seems to confirm it. There have been lots of fights and even a reported knifing up there in the past two years. It's seperated from the rest of the bars in the canyon because that shit gets reported to the po-po if you're at Frita's. And I believe that the Canyon (Hungry Horse specifically) is currently leading the race in the Meth Capital of the US race. These towns are all like this because the Dam brought a lot of money and prosperity about 50 years ago and now the worker's descendents are here with no jobs.

    Yeah, but if they do all that meth, they can cut wood five times faster.
