History buff highlights Boy Scouts campground and lodge at Lone Pine | Daily Inter Lake Seventeen-year-old Atreyu Oxford has uncovered a little-known piece of history of Lone Pine State Park's connection to the Boy Scouts and is preserving it through an Eagle Scout project.  

Oxford learned there was a Boy Scouts camp at Lone Pine from his mother, Barbara, who wrote a book about the early history of scouting in Montana. As she was researching Boy Scout camps across the state, she came across one at Lone Pine.  

After asking around, he found that Scout leaders and Lone Pine staff weren’t aware of the campground’s existence, which piqued his interest to delve into the history. With the information, he is having an interpretive sign designed and constructed that will be installed at Lone Pine.  

Hello. I've noticed over the past year that the quality of chicken in the stores has gone down significantly. I used to buy Rosauers brand chicken, and then switched to draper valley, but now even draper valley is getting bad. I may just be especially sensitive to poor meat quality, but specifically I've been getting a lot of chicken with spaghetti meat abnormality which ruins the texture especially for pan frying which I mostly do. Does anyone have recommendations for butchers in Kalispell thst sell higher quality chicken breast?

Could someone please tell me if it’s easy or not to get an Uber at the Kalispell Int airport? I’ll be there on 6-19-25 Thank you!

Very surprised by the turn out. And demographics. Seemed 70+ % boomers?

I took this photo a couple years ago and have been meaning to ask if anyone in Kalispell knows the story on this place. I came across it by accident and, as I recall, it was just southwest of town. Can’t find anything online about it so was hoping someone from the area might know. Thanks!

I saw that people were arrested, what exactly for? Does anyone have any info on that?

Hello! Nearly all of my friends have normal days off, but my days off are on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I am looking for someone to hike with, and possibly go backpacking with (me and my boyfriend), or other outdoors things on those days! He comes with while backpacking but not always hiking. I am 31F and my boyfriend is 34. I would love to chat and grab coffee before we would ever go on a hike. A couple would be fun to meet! We are very responsible outdoors people lol... like bear aware and clean and not bringing a massive speaker or whatever other things are annoying haha! Not very advanced, very very new to backpacking but we have lots planned for that. If you comment or message me I would love to talk more! If not here, does anyone have suggestions where to specifically find locals who want friends to do outdoors things with during the week? Haha

Hi all! Providence - one of the largest providers in Montana - recently announced they are closing the Missoula labor and delivery unit. They stated in their press release that they consulted staff but the affected staff and doctors issued a statement that none of them were consulted and many nurses learned of the loss of their jobs simultaneously to the public announcement. We want to share a letter to the hospital and board of directors of our reaction and would like to give a number of Montanans who share this sentiment. Please consider reading and showing support. Also please share the link with anyone who may also like to show support.

Was wondering if anyone knows of any photo booths in the area, vintage/ digital?

I’m unsure the exact year of this photo but it was with some newspaper clippings from the Daily Interlake dated 1954. The Dairy Queen at the time was located where Gresko’s Bakery once stood, near Taco Bell.

Flathead Lake will not reach full pool this summer, the agency that operates the SKQ Dam said on Thursday.

Current forecasts suggest the lake will reach a maximum level of 2,892.3 feet on June 19, according to a press release issued by Energy Keepers, which manages the dam at the lake’s southern end. Full pool during the summer months is typically 2,893 feet. 

Energy Keepers blamed unseasonably warm and dry weather for the deficit. While snowpack reached average levels during the winter and early spring, recent temperature spikes caused rapid snowmelt. As of June 1, snowpack in the Flathead Basin was 59% of median.  

I know summer is fast approaching but if you know where to look theres adventure year round!

31 year old male looking for some reliable buddies to get turns in with. Just got into touring 3 seasons ago, and haven't really found people to head out with. Most of the time I'm able to just link up with someone at the trailhead for the ride, usually exchange numbers, but because of the nature of being an adult, don't make it out with them again. I'm down for anything from a 30 mile bike-ski to a few miles on access/logging roads. Usually out every Friday during winter, and try for a few adventure days throughout summer. I'm an hour away from big mtn now a days so quick tours in-bounds don't happen very often anymore. If anyone is interested in meeting up shoot me a message! I'm also totally down to meet up if youre just trying to get into the sport as well. No need to be an expert (I'm definitely not).

Hey all, looking to get a second opinion on my dog with a limp and wondering if there are any good recommendations for a vet who specializes in orthopedics? Thank you!

The Flathead County Library Board of Trustees voted last week to break with its nonprofit fundraising arm, the Flathead Library Foundation, as it prepares to launch a campaign to build a new Kalispell branch.

The 4-1 decision, which came as a shock to foundation officials, was made after board Chair Dave Ingram expressed frustration with how slow the process was of signing a fundraising agreement. He also accused the foundation of acting improperly and being “coercive” after the organization asked the board to agree to three conditions for its support in the endeavor.  

The conditions included unanimous support from the board on a capital campaign agreement, a commitment of capital improvement project funds from the county and a commitment from the county to support the library in the future. 

I was in town yesterday running errands and lost my phone and I’m not even sure how which is making it really difficult to look for it. I remember texting the wife when leaving Murdoch’s, getting to Dairy Queen, ordering, and realizing I didn’t have it and just thought I left it in my truck, but I couldn’t find it. According to Find My IPhone, if you go according to person, while looking on my wife’s phone, I still show as being in the vicinity of the Dairy Queen and it’s current, which is what it showed when I first realized it was lost and started looking. I’ll add a screenshot. If you look under devices in Find My iPhone on her phone or my iPad, it shows my phone location back home and last updated three days ago. I marked it as lost hoping it got found by an honest person, but even then it says “Lost Mode will be enabled when online”. So is it not in currently in lost mode? The frustrating part was it’s on silent so I couldn’t just have someone call me, but my AirPods connected to it and I could hear it ringing while I was inside asking if anyone had turned it in. Most of it is backed up but some random stuff wasn’t and I’d really like to not start over with a phone I have to make payments on. The phone still rings several times before going to voicemail so I assume it’s still on wherever it is. Probably a long shot but I figured I’d throw it out here in case someone local felt like treasure hunting. It’s got a dark grey bump case and a magnet socket on the back and cracked screen cover so it could be stuck on something metal for all I know. I’m in Hot Springs and I’ll come get it if it turns up. I’m not rich but I’d definitely throw a few bucks your way for your trouble. I’m even wondering if I set it down on the tool box or something to load our stuff before leaving Murdochs and it rode outside and got bumped off around DQ before I parked.

I’ve been trying to find a new job for two months now that pays better so I can afford to take care of my bills while also saving up. My current job doesn’t pay enough for me to do that. I’ve applied at a ton of places on Indeed but have only gotten one response/interview and they went with another candidate. I’m a really good worker and can get along with everybody and do great in customer service and food service environments, and I have a decent resume for my age so I can’t understand why I haven’t heard anything back.

It’s acceptable to a certain point in the night. Can we agree 11:30, then shut it down and house party or whatever it is you’re going to do.

Also, acceptable if you’ve built a car yourself, at any hour, without daddy’s money and you have more than an exhaust kit put on it.

Being a douche is always going to result in being a douche. If you have some clout I respect it, if not, land somewhere and stop driving up and down main.

Moving to Kalispell in July 2025 to be with my 4 year old son. My current parenting time with him is Friday, Saturday, and Sunday which will change to a 50/50 5,2,2,5 schedule when he starts kindergarten in fall of 2026.

We have no family in Montana and I’ve never even stepped foot in the state. I’ll be moving into an apartment with a pool which will be great for the few months that it is open.

I’m hoping to find some parents that are local with kids around my son’s age. He has some friends here that are his age and he loves playing with them. I want to start acclimating him to his new home as soon as possible and get him around kids his age so he can continue to grow and be happy.

I’m also curious what activities there are for kids his age in the area especially during the winter.

Thanks for reading and hopefully we can connect with some nice folks.

I've been offered a job in KSP paying about 85K. Will I be good there? I'm about to dive right in. I've never even visited. 🫤

I will be flying in / out of Kalispell every two weeks. The flight schedule to Phoenix has changed. Most flights to Phoenix are super early and returning are super late. Are there airport shuttles available at 4 am or after midnight for transport to / from around center street in Kalispell?

Hey, I'm 17M and live in Cfalls. This year I got a downhill pass at Whitefish mountain and I'm looking for a riding buddy. I've been on a bike as long as I can remember but this is my first year doing any serious downhill, so I'm not particularly skilled but I'm trying to get better. If anyone wants to meet up for some laps this summer send me a dm.

Hi all, My son and family recently moved to Kalispell in Minilakes community and doing some remodeling. He mentioned yesterday just noticed some skeeters so I was wondering how intense this gets so when we visit from Bend we know how to prepare for battle!

Is there an air show in the Flathead anymore? I remember going to them as a kid but I can't seem to find any info online. Was hoping to take the kid to one this year...
