Major loss. Not just because of losing the lodge, but because I lack confidence that any replacement building will be nearly as cool.

The National Park great lodges are real Americana.

With Trump in office, we may get a good replacement. If Kamala had won, we would be dealing with green policies and endless bureaucratic red tape that would prevent anything from getting done.

IIRC, Theadore Roosevelt built that lodge, back whenever. It was a beautiful place, even more so since you were typically a bit loopy from being at 10,000 feet.

Yes, I’ve been there. It was an iconic structure... national treasure. Beyond incompetent for it burn away.

The skills to recreate that building as it existed don’t hardly exist anymore.
