Military exercises in Red Meadow area
Here’s some clarification on the current military presence at the Sapa airstrip on Red Meadow Road from Rob Davies, Hungry Horse/Glacier View District Ranger…
After a little research I have confirmed what this was all about.
Last weekend there was a military, US Special Forces training exercise… These military exercises will be occurring across four National Forests; the Flathead NF, Helena-Lewis and Clark NF, the Lolo NF, and the Kootenai NF.
…I did not have any details about when and where the activity would be occurring. I was generally aware that there was going to be US Special Forces training this winter and some of it would occur in the Whitefish Range but that’s all I was aware of. These military training operations are not intended to be publicly advertised and disclosed for obvious security reasons.
I hope this information helps… at least remove some of the mystery about what was going on.
Almost 70 people attend Christmas dinner at Sondreson Hall
The 2023 Christmas Day dinner at Sondreson Hall, hosted by Mark and Margaret Heaphy, brought neighbors together for hours of fun. The Heaphys were ably assisted by John and Tami Stone, Bernie & Vickie Wiedmann, and Ray Brown. About 70 folks enjoyed the opportunity to overeat and socialize with friends new and old.
Still sorting through the images, but here is the group photo from the event. The crowd was a little restless, so, if you don’t see yourself in one version, check the other . . .
NFLA New Year’s Eve party this Sunday!
Dancing and music at the Hall starting at 8:00pm!
Bring finger foods, desserts, and whatever you wish to drink!
Come enjoy conversation with friends, music by Debo, dancing and… FIREWORKS at 10:00! Ring in the New Year at midnight with a toast with friends and neighbors!
All are welcome, please come join in on the fun!
(John and Zoë Zardis are hosting!)
First Annual (?) North Fork Turkey Trot
One last Thanksgiving note . . .
Here are the participants in the First Annual (maybe) North Fork Turkey Trot. It started from the Walker’s place on Thanksgiving morning and ended a couple of hours later on their front porch with coffee and hot chocolate.
