June 15th, the official beginning of the 2019 SMART Alaska Caravan

June 15, 2019
It's finally here, after planning, making reservations, checking them over and over again, we have finally arrived at the beginning of the caravan!!

We had our Welcome dinner at the Arvon Hotel, downtown Great Falls. Before dinner, the owner of the building gave us a tour, before dinner. The hotel used to be a stables, shipping warehouse and hotel with small rooms. The rehabilitation, after practically gutting the entire building, gives birth to three different areas. The Irish Pub, Celtic Cowboy, was the first to be finished and they did a fantastic job of mixing the old flavor of an Irish Pub with a new modern look. Next was the Darkhorse Hall and Wine Snug. The Darkhorse Hall is where we had our dinner. The food was great, served hot and we had a very enjoyable time.

Lastly was the hotel. Luxury rooms await your pleasure, more like suites than hotel rooms, each room different, no cookie cutter standard hotel rooms here. Everything is spotless!

After the tour, some of our group enjoyed a cocktail while we waited for the Darkhorse Hall to be ready for us.
