Bigfoot Hotel proposed for East Glacier

Post by llholmes1948 »

Bigfoot Hotel, Conference Center and Museum proposed for East Glacier. No word on whether it will also feature a laundromat. This is proof that just because you have a lot of money does not mean that you are not crazy. Here is a link to the article in the Inter Lake:

I agree teapot. That sure doesn't look like it fits in with the small village feel I get from East Glacier!

It will be nice to have a place where we can visit all three at the same time!!! (*** Sarcasm Alert ***)
Maybe they can also get a Yeti and an alien from Roswell??? :-)

Matt,

Just think of the jobs that will open up although I bet that Bigfoot costume will get pretty hot in August :shock:

Putting aside the ridiculous underlying premise for a moment, I wonder if East Glacier would even have the infrastructure necessary to handle a complex of this size.

That is certainly a good point. I believe the water system in East Glacier has finally been improved so that lodging places do not provide spring water or bottled water but I don't know that for a fact. For quite a few years there was an advisory about drinking the tap water in East Glacier and there seemed to be delay after delay about the construction of the new system but I think it finally happened.

I don't know if this hotel would have its own sewer disposal system or if there is a public system in East Glacier that would handle this.

Well, at least this might make trip reports more interesting. "Something big woke me up in the middle of the night, I wonder if it was a bigfoot". And we can post blurry images of large furry animals and claim a bigfoot siting.

I remember seeing something a couple of years ago, about the water system finally being done and you don't have to boil water anymore.

This will be interesting with the proposal on the table about West Glacier for the large new development and now East Glacier, I honestly don't know how they are going to support themselves, we have had a couple of large years here, but the season is shorter than the off season.

Maybe they can get a surplus space suit from NASA and paint it up and add some hair and maybe it could keep the Bigfoot actors cool!! :D :D

I think the developers would be better off buying this Arizona ranch and opening an alien-themed resort instead. The current owner has slain 19 aliens, so could probably add important artifacts to the museum!

These things are definitely on the increase. I have been warned to expect numerous alien attacks this Tuesday evening and that the only way to get rid of them is to bribe them with something so I have been stocking up.

Obviously, the proposed plan doesn't make sense. No banker would underwrite a loan for a hotel that should be closed 9 months of the year. If the guy has enough money to fund it alone, well, a fool and his money are soon separated, or whatever that saying is.

So then the question is, what is the real purpose of the "hotel."

-A brothel
-A front to launder money
-Gambling
-Drugs

I guess these are the obvious ones. My bet is the thing doesn't get built, or if it's started, it's not finished.

Jay,

Those are great points. However you overlooked one thing - Perhaps it is a front for a laundromat for clothes in addition to money.
