Happy Halloween Weekend

Tonight, we decided to get our pumpkin ready for Halloween.  In honor of our new kitten, Moira, we thought a cat jack o'lantern was in order.

We still have availability this weekend and there is a haunted house open both Friday and Saturday nights.  It is called the "Rain of Terror."  It will be open from 6pm to midnight October 31 and November 1, 2014.  It is sponsored by the Forks Police Foundation and all proceeds will go to the foundation.  They are in process of getting uniforms for and training their cadets.

The Rain of Terror is being held at the Quillayute Airport Hangar.  It takes about 15 - 20 minutes to get there from the Inn.  There is also a shuttle bus leaving from the Concerned Citizens Offices (across from Forks Outfitters), if you do not want to drive out to the Hangar.  The shuttle is scheduled to leave every 1/2 hour and makes one stop at JT's Sweet Shop for some pre-haunted house ghost stories to help get you in the mood.

We are proud to offer support to the Forks Police Foundation, but you won't find us at the haunted house.  We are too scared!

New Staff Member at the Miller Tree Inn

We would like to introduce everyone to our newest staff member at the Miller Tree Inn.  We adopted Moira, a 3 month old tabby kitten from the Humane Society on Thursday.  She is busily and happily exploring her new surroundings.  So far, we have found Moira to be affectionate.  She loves to be held and petted and she talks A LOT!  Moira hopes that you will come and visit her at the inn.

Pocket Edward Visits Yellowstone National Park

We took Pocket Edward on a little road trip about a week ago.  The purpose of the trip was to go to innkeeper Bill's Aunt Betty's 90th birthday party in southern Idaho.  Since we were that close, we took a little side trip to Yellowstone National Park and enjoyed viewing the geysers, paint pots, hot springs and wildlife.

We were lucky enough to see several geysers erupt and lots of bison, an elk and a grizzly bear.  We also took in a Ranger led walk around geyser hill and two evening Ranger programs at the Visitor's Center.  It was a fun and relaxing couple of days.

Pocket Edward was especially thrilled with the grizzly bear sighting we had on our way out of the Park.  We got a blurry picture of him that we thought Emmett would appreciate given his fondness for grizzlies!
