The Sacajawea Hotel, A Story in Three Parts

July 30, 2010 by Joe Bergantine

On Thursday the MercuryCSC crew took a field trip to Three Forks, Mont. to talk a bit of business and explore the history and unique personality of the town. So as not to take it over in one swarming mass we broke into smaller scouting parties and, with the Sacajawea Hotel as our center point, set out smart-phone in hand to take it in pieces. However, one group, lured by the soft green felt of the pool tables, abundant wifi and gentle rock to the chairs on the front porch never made it off of the premises.

We’re hanging out at the historic Sacajawea Inn in Three Forks, Montana for our agency get-away. For the afternoon “funtivity,” we’re getting a chance to experience the Sac. After a quick game of pool and helping ourselves to some local draft beers, Tanya, Jaclyn and I headed upstairs to check out the traditional 1900s bar. Unfortunately, we had to handle a quick assignment. But luckily there was plenty of room to pull out our computers while having some laughs and a few cold refreshments and thinking about everything this bar has seen in the last 110 years.

For this Mercury retreat, we chose the Sacajawea Motel because of its perfect integration into Mercury’s Geotravel way of life. First thing’s first, a toast to our accomplishments with your choice of a beer, shot of tequila or vodka lemonade. I was surprised that most all of the girls chose the shot.

How irritating it is to have to write about social media when I know nothing about social media. Yet, slowly it is becoming exciting to learn this mysterious new world that I can’t seem to hide from. So, here I go… embracing change.
