Montana House Art Store in Apgar Village

Montana House at Apgar Village — We had reservations for the high-mountain Sperry Chalet, but it burnt down the day before.

Montana House at Apgar Village — Howard inspired me in the most surprising way – his assertive friendliness – he reminded me of a great Disney Cast Member who doesn’t know any other way.

We walked there from our hotel.

We walked everywhere from our hotel.

Apgar Village is about two blocks long and one street wide.

What are they dropping on the fire?

Lake McDonald Lodge fire 2017 — Lake McDonald Lodge marina and the DeSmet.

Lake McDonald Lodge fire 2017 — Lake McDonald Lodge marina was closed and wouldn’t allow us to dock.

Lake McDonald Lodge fire 2017 — Cabin 20 (with boat house) from the water.

Lake McDonald Lodge fire 2017 — Mt Brown lookout in danger in the next 30 minutes.

Lake McDonald Lodge fire 2017 — Fingers crossed we get to live here for a week next Summer.

Lake McDonald Lodge fire 2017 — Ginger, the Golden Retriever.

Lake McDonald Lodge fire 2017 — Ginger has no cares about the fire. Her owner on the other hand, realizes she may return to nothing but ashes.

Howard says, “What are they dropping on the fire?”

“Water.”, i reply.

We watched the helicopter make continuous trips behind the ridge then back up near Mt Brown Lookout and drop “water”.

Howard spotted two people on a dock near Cabin 20 and said, “Let’s ask them.”

“They’re not gonna know. Plus, it’s creepy because we are complete strangers.”

Howard drifted closer and struck up a conversation. They invited us to dock.

An Attorney and a Real Estate Agent. One grew up spending Summers in the Family cabin (just down from Cabin 20). The other, a friend of hers.

We sensed a deep sadness in the reality that the fire is unstoppable, no rain is in the forecast, and fire danger at extreme even without the fire.

There was talk that their only hope may be the first snowfall.

It’s September 2nd.

The Happiest Place on Earth is where ever you are at the moment. It’s our call.

Not gonna lie, i do not like being the first one on the trail. Also don’t like being the only ones on the trail.

We were both.

It was exhilarating.
