We are the proud home of Makoshika State Park which is
Montana’s largest state park with just over 11,000 acres of
primitive terrain and is home to many dinosaur fossils. We
welcome you to walk the same trails once roamed by the
mighty dinosaurs. Bring your camera to capture the wildlife
that call this oasis home such as eagles, turkey, vultures and
deer. Once your hike in the park is over, head over to the
historic Bell Street Bridge. No longer open to motorized traffic, this is a wonderful way to view the infamous Yellowstone
River by strolling at your own pace across this ¼ mile bridge.
If you’d like to learn more about Glendive’s history, take
a trip in time at the Frontier Gateway Museum. They boast
items from clothing to farm equipment to photos from eras
gone by. If that doesn’t take you far enough back into time,
visit one of the area’s dinosaur museums. Ever wonder
what a 38-foot Tyrannosaurus Rex looks like? Well, here’s
your chance! Visit the Makoshika Dinosaur Museum and be
amazed by the giant that once roamed the earth. Next stop
should be the Glendive Dinosaur and Fossil Museum, the
largest of its kind, where you will find many full size dinosaur
and fossils exhibited and ready to be enjoyed by all!
If you want to get a glimpse of what farm life is all about,
you’ve come to the right place! Glendive is considered the agricultural hub of Eastern Montana and Western North Dakota!
Head down any country road and see the farms & ranches that
Eastern Montana is known for.

Why Canyon Lake?
I
’ve heard it said a number of times that it’s all about
location, location, location. Being centrally located
an hour’s drive between San Antonio and Austin, TX.
Canyon Lake is certainly no exception to this statement with
all its natural beauty, historic places and unique people. In
the summer with the Guadalupe River flowing in and out of
Canyon Lake, this area has always been known as the Water
Recreation Capital of Texas. But now this area is also being
known as a year round destination for good reason.
Canyon Lake and the Guadalupe River....
“The Water Recreation
Capital of Texas!”

s(ISTORIC!TTRACTIONS7ILDLIFE
In the fall, the brilliantly reds, gold’s and orange colors
inspire the artist in everyone with a palette of colors that even
the Catskills, the Great Smoky Mountains, and the Ozarks
would envy. Now, imagine yourself in a small sailboat on a
blue/ green water lake with a pleasantly cool breeze covering
your body as your eyes take in the color of the surrounding
Hill Country with the lone Bald Eagle circling above. Just as
easily, you could find yourself in some waders in the middle
of the Guadalupe River testing your fly rod skills against the
rainbow trout waiting just below the surface.
Spring time at Canyon Lake is another season of color with
many species of wildflower. Texas bluebonnets, Engelmann’s
daisy and Indian paintbrush along with other early bloomers give
way to the later blooming but equally brilliant Mealy blue sage,
Plains black-foot daisy, Coreopsis, Indian blanket, Mexican hat,
just to name a few. This is a time of year when the dust is wiped
from camera and video equipment and the family vehicle is readied for a road trip to capture the color of these spring season.
The summer months at Canyon Lake bring a different appeal. This season lends itself high energy activities such as
swimming, diving, snorkeling, water skiing, wake boarding
and tubing. If you’d rather slow things down a bit then seek
the services of one of the many river outfitters to tube the
Guadalupe. With 23 boat ramps, two marinas, bed & breakfasts and plenty of camping parks, you should be able to find
a spot and activity that scratches your outdoor recreation itch.
The Guadalupe River and Canyon Lake, at least in my opinion, is a crown jewel of the Texas Hill Country. It’s a place
that brings a sense of peace and well being to visitors. It’s a
place where memories are made with family and friends. It’s
a place to observe, develop and enhance an appreciation of
nature. It’s a place where strangers can become friends and
friends become family. We encourage you to give Canyon
Lake a visit so that you can experience what many already

over 750,000 residents. Built on the diversity of Spanish culture and Native American tradition, Albuquerque is home to
world class cultural events, unique attractions, a vibrant heritage, 16 museums, shopping, outdoor recreation, spectacular
hot air ballooning, and championship golf courses.
Experience New Mexico’s rich cultural history as you hike
among the ancient cliff dwellings and petroglyphs to learn
about the lifestyles and beliefs found in the area’s earliest
civilizations. Albuquerque is the gateway to Pueblo Indian
culture. Learn about the state’s 19 Indian pueblos at the Indian
Pueblo Cultural Center. Indian dances, artist demonstrations
and bread baking take place at the Indian Pueblo Cultural
Center every weekend. Experience living cultural traditions
on a guided tour of Acoma Pueblo just 45 minutes west of
Albuquerque.
Albuquerque is a four-season destination with 310 days of
sunshine per year. This provides visitors with endless possibilities for outdoor activities under a clear blue sky. A hot-air
balloon ride in the “hot air balloon capital of the world” is unlike any other experience; balloon rides are offered throughout the year. Get a bird’s eye view of the Rio Grande Valley
by riding the Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway from 6,500 feet to
more than 10,000 feet. Once at the top, hit the trails for hiking
and exploring. Take in a view of more than 11,000 square
miles on a clear day.
The climate and high desert landscape are ideal for hiking,
biking and golfing. Set out for a hike along one of many trails
winding through the Cibola National Forest on Sandia Peak
or challenge yourself with a ride on a mountain bike over the
rugged terrain. Road biking is also abundant in the area with
numerous trails linking throughout the city. Combine the milehigh elevation and varied landscape of central New Mexico
with warm sun, low humidity and very affordable green fees,
and you have a fantastic golf destination. With more than 15
golf courses in the metro area, golfers of every skill level will
enjoy a picturesque round of golf in Albuquerque.
For the authentic New Mexican experience, be sure to sample
some chile. New Mexico’s state question, “Red or Green?”
refers to the type of chile you prefer. Add some spice into your
life and order “Christmas style” and you’ll get both red and
green chile on your plate. Albuquerque offers a variety of dining options from a quaint and casual atmosphere to an elegant
fine dining ambiance.
Take a piece of New Mexico home with you – an authentic
art piece that is. Albuquerque offers an array of Southwestern
art from hand-made pottery and jewelry to tin work, paintings
and rugs.

Veterans
Memorial Museum Chehalis, WA
“They Shall Not Be Forgotten”
T
he Veterans Memorial Museum, located in Chehalis,
WA, began in 1997 at a storefront in Chehallis, WA.
From this humble beginning through perseverance
and the help of membership moneys and donations, they were
able to open their new facility in 2005. This facility, featuring a 9,000 square foot main gallery, 85 display cases and
hundreds of displays honoring our veterans, is visible from
Interstate 5 just off Exit 77.
The museum also features a military history reference library
with thousands of volumes. There is also a gift shop and a
“USO” where you can enjoy a cup of coffee and converse
with local veterans.
Many veterans returning from war bury emotions deep inside
their minds and hearts and do not learn how to reconcile with
them until 20 to 50 years later. Unfortunately some never are
able to come to grips with these emotions. One of the major
goals of the Veterans Memorial Museum is to sponsor events
such as these to help the HEALING process begin.
Desert War Veterans Day
On June 25th they will be honoring the veterans of the Desert War. The guest speaker will be a Global War on Terrorism
Purple Heart recipient.
Civil War Battle and Remembrance
On the July weekend of the 23th-24th they will continue
their recognition of the Sesquicentennial of the American
Civil War. They will be having another large battle and encampment not far from the Museum. These are really exciting
events as you watch the battle unfold, learn about life in the
1860’s from the living historians and learn about the featured
battle.
Vietnam Veterans Day
On the August 6th the Veterans Memorial Museum will continue its recognition of the veterans of the Vietnam War. The
guest speaker for this year’s event will be a USAF Air Force
Cross recipient.
Visit the Veterans Memorial Museum
The museum is open year round Tuesday-Saturday from
10AM to 5PM, and from June 1st through Labor Day in September, it is also open on Sundays from 1PM to 5PM.
All of the museum’s programs are intended to HONOR
those who serve or have served our country. The freedom our
citizens and our County currently have is a direct result of
the millions of American servicemen and women who have
served their country in peace and war!

s a manager, one must understand who they are,
what they represent, how they fit in with the culture
of their community and company, as well as what
motivates them. In return, we must challenge those who follow us to learn, embrace, and act upon the roads of development that led us to knowing what our purpose is in life
personally and professionally. As a leader and manager there
must be a collaboration and connection within a team. Being
able to guide and develop individuals personally and professionally allows for deep relationships that yield efficiency,
dedication, honesty, and growth.
Managers and leaders must acknowledge that the world is
ever-changing and that we all have something to learn each
and every day. Diversity and inclusion is what make relationships work; however, the foundation of leadership and work
relationships stem from the acknowledgement that we are
purposeful, that we are worthwhile, and that we value one
another. These foundations are then fostered and grown by the
giving and receiving of new skills, abilities, knowledge, and
problem solving tendencies.
Actionable items that lead to finding out who your employees are and what drives them can be completed in five easy
and efficient steps.
One- Have each team member complete a bucket list. In an
open and comfortable environment, allow them to share. This
allows management as well as employees to embrace similarities and differences of activities and relations to personality
types.
Two- Promote work/life balance by encouraging team members to check items off of the list.
Three- Lead by example and get out in the world, check off
some items, and make a difference.
Four- Don’t let the passion die. Revisit the list every few
months and add to it. Share with those closest to you to ensure
that you are growing both personally and professionally.
Five- Forget the excuses, forget the what-ifs, and forget what
doesn’t help us grow. Hindrance is the worst enemy in creating and implementing change.
As a manager it is essential for one to lead by example.
By implementing the five actionable items listed above and
choosing to be present and engaged, managers promote a
positive attitude while inside and outside the office. Not only
does an employee need to rely on the strength of the manager
but they also need to rely on the power of the manager’s
positivity and attitude.
“If I don’t do it, someone else will.” This simple phrase will
always keep the manager and employee in the frame of mind
that no one is irreplaceable and ninety-eight percent of change
and productivity stems from a positive attitude. Attitudes are
contagious; ensure that, as the manager or team leader, you
are spreading an attitude that will do “good” and increase
RH
productivity, culture, cohesiveness, and trust. www.ritzhospitalitymag.com
