If you you look across the water from Eurkea, you can make out the clear cut of where their community is in the forest. The directions to cross the bridge and head North should get you there.

They are located along the side of Lake Koocanusa. Last time I visited the patriarch in charge was Andy Yoder. I’ve heard he’s since moved out of the area but other Yoders are still there. Once a year they have an auction and quilt sale. It’s always very well attended.

Take 37 west and cross the big bridge at Koocanusa lake. Turn north and follow W Kootenai Rd. It will take you close to the Canadian border. Thats where the flea market was. On google earth someone posted a picture from the same area and titled it Amish country also.

We went through Eureka and Whitefish in hopes of finding them. By Eureka we were told to drive down the highway and turn off past the black bridge but we saw no turnoff, while in Whitefish no one we asked had ever heard of a community in that area. Do you have any directions to either location? We hope to look 2 weeks from saturday again. Thanks
Adrianus
