i'm camping in a petting zoo! | koa whitefish montana

Not really, but close! The campground here in Whitefish is located next door to a petting zoo and the owner lets the animals roam free during the day (he brings them in at night so they don't get eaten by grizzlies and mountain lion). This morning I woke up to a llama at my door! I guess it's better than a bear! These animals are used to being "pet", so they're way toooo friendly! I have to watch out because one of the goats is particularly fond of Lulu. Lu likes the animals except when they get too close to her kennel, I mean camper! She tried to bite the ankles of a donkey this morning. Have you ever seen a donkey and a chihuahua fight? OMG it's FUNNY! The donkey put his head down low and tried to ram Lulu. hahaha Lulu would run under his legs and bit the inside of his ankles. OMG. I had to separate them but man I wish I had it on video!!!

This goat here, with the horns, wants little lulu goat babies. NOT happening.

I wanted to share with you Montana's best kept secret, The Walking Lightly Ranch in Whitefish, Montana!. I discovered was a wondrous, ethereal retreat located on 400 acres, almost "off-the-grid" in northwestern Montana by accident – thank you Google!

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE AND ONLY $16! KEEP READING! 

Sunday night I attended an incredible yoga class followed by a delectable "raw" vegan gourmet dinner. Every Sunday night, until the end of the month (this Sunday is the last one!), Walking Lightly Ranch hosts a "Community yoga class followed by a gourmet vegan dinner" all for ONLY $16. It sounded like a wonderful experience, but I was definitely skeptical. I've never eaten a "raw" meal before, and I truly didn't think I would enjoy it. Boy was I wrong! I had no idea "uncooked" food could be so delicious. I've definitely been ignorant and myopic in my thinking in terms of "raw". I was picturing a diet full of sushi and cold vegetables. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE sushi and love my veggies, but just not every day all day. I know, I'm a moron. I never said I was smart. 

If you're in the area and free this Sunday, I implore you to go! You will thank me, I promise! The atmosphere is tender and magical and the food is incredible. I can't imagine how divine their full retreats must be! 

PLEASE pass this along to any yoga instructors you know as well!. Interested yoga instructors are invited out for a "site visit" to potentially run their own weekend retreat, with accommodations and all gourmet meals provided by Walking Lightly! I can't believe how rewarding the experience must be for everyone!

Please go to their website to learn more about their philosophy, their retreats and their resident beaver! How to walk lightly

This is their yoga studio (and their picture). I took it off their website. I like the way it looks with the mats set up! :)
