2023

Hope all is well and you have had a great summer. I know for some of you it has been a summer of natural disasters both with forest fires and flooding and my thoughts go out to you. For us here at the lodge it was a summer with only a couple of days of light smoke and no forest fires close by.

It has been warm with temperatures in the mid-30’s, with one day reaching a high of 39 degrees. Way too hot for me, but some brave guests have gone swimming. The water will have to warm up a bit before I go for a swim. It’s currently around 65 degrees Fahrenheit, but that hasn’t stopped them from paddle boarding and kayaking.

At the Lodge, winter hasn’t been as cold as last year and there is not as much snow, although there is still more winter to come. But already there is more daylight up there than here at home gaining 6 minutes a day, and it doesn’t take long to add up.
