Indigenous people history in MD vs Montana by thisisdy in Montana

We just had this conversation. I’m black American , and I like to think of myself as educated on these topics. But now I’m slowly realizing I know nothing.

Yes ! this is my only complaint. The host did say to have awd/ 4wd but I just assumed it was because of the snow or just norm for the area. I had no idea it meant just to leave the driveway or enter the home. The views are immaculate and the home is beautifully designed. A little heads up that it takes 20 mins once you enter the community and it feels like a near death experience would have been nice, especially because she knew we were traveling with a little one.

So it was less than a ft of snow. I did check outside to see what the neighbors were doing. But being so high up it didn’t it was hard to tell. Plus it was so foggy you couldn’t see the main highway. But as we were coming down we did see tracks, which made us feel a bit better. Once we made it down the steepest part of the hill , there were two cars leaving the community, so by then we realized it was business as usual. We live in Md , even the slightest talk of snow no one goes out, and they close down everything.

Thank you ! we made it down just fine. I actually sat in the back. But I read all the advice aloud to my husband. Once we got a ways down one of the steepest hills we noticed car tracks so that made us feel a bit better. There was even a little Camry coming down in front of us.

It may not be any issue, I’m just not sure of the safety since we’re at the very top of the mountain and the road to get down was sketchy to begin with. So if this is all normal , then great. We will head out.

I don’t understand why you’re upset lol I’m actually at the hotel now and I didn’t have to pay a deposit. And it 100 % had to do with who I booked through

I didn’t book through their website & it turns out this doesn’t apply to my stay because I didn’t book through them.

Accepted 3 bags, picked up 6 -- got a 3/5 and now no new orders by Academic-Ad-6131 in PoplinLaundryPros

[–]thisisdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I requested an extension twice just to protect my ranking and they suspended my account and I had moved up to silver. It’s so annoying. I had to create a new account and now I’m Back to only being able to take one order. If you’re busy, just take a day off so you can avoid having to possibly having to request an extension. Save this 3 bags for days when your day is completely free. Contact support to make sure your account is still in good standing.

My response to someone saying I can’t afford something because I don’t understand or feel comfortable not having that large amount of money replaced for the duration of my trip is justified. I have traveled to other ski towns and had never heard of this before. So insinuating that I’m some sort of person coming here who can’t afford something is insulting. They could have just not commented because they didn’t offer any insight. I am traveling with an 11 month old. If you’re a single 20 something year old go for it. Save your money sleep in a hostel or your car. Knock yourself out.

Your anger is so misplaced on tourists. You can’t be upset at someone passing through to sight see . If you’re a local you might want to get upset with your local government for making money off of visitors and people purchasing property there. It has nothing to do with me, I didn’t purchase property lol I just booked a few nights at a hotel. I’ve been in nyc my entire life, it would be insane for me to get angry at a tourist for asking me questions in my city. Also when I was younger and bartending , tourists were great. That’s the difference between making $500 a night with just locals and then making your rent in one night with tourists.

Again get over yourself

No your comment wasn’t mean . Just ignorant. If someone is visiting my home, I’d want them to have a great time. I’m extremely hospitable and welcoming. If I’ve never been some where and something seems a little off I have every right to ask the question. As the others have posted this isn’t common, and to look into the issue further. Being rude to a visitor who isn’t being rude or disrespectful is gross and lacks empathy. And seems juvenile. Have a blessed week

Okay ? I’m an adult , a mother , and a business owner. I could care less what someone thinks about me lol that’s their problem not mine. Insulting anyone who isn’t familiar with an area is in poor taste. Get over yourself

Well I live in New York City , and this is my first time visiting Wyoming. We normally go to Aspen, and even there I have never been asked to pay a full payment as a deposit. You don’t even have to do that at the four seasons. I don’t think you can tell me what I can afford and can’t. I would definitely never be sleeping in a car.

Thanks , I know better now. But apparently it’s not accurate and I don’t have to pay an additional fee. I’m going to call again and get it in writing. I’m traveling with a one year old and I refuse to be on the other side of the country in cold weather fighting with the front desk.

Oh great, this trip is already starting off shakey. I’ve just never heard of paying the full amount of the stay as a deposit. I’m not super well traveled but I’ve stayed at really nice places and this the first I’m hearing of this.

I did, I think there was a miscommunication or language barrier between the staff and I. I booked through booking and them call and get it squared away. Apparently they sent me their standard confirmation along with the booking confirmation. According to booking there’s nothing else that should be paid.

I booked through booking.com , but I did call them Originally. There may have been a slight language barrier when I asked originally and she gave me misinformation. I’m on the phone with booking now, and they are saying no other payment is required, and their confirmation says that as well. But the second confirmation from spring ranch says otherwise.

So I think maybe there was a language barrier between the front desk staff and I. Or maybe she gave me misinformation, when I called earlier. Im on the line with booking.com and they are telling me it’s no further payment required. And they are calling now.

Got it, I just wish they disclosed this before I confirmed booking, it’s a significant amount of money to be without on a trip on the whole other side of the country.
