Sagging Roadside Lodge Business

If you've ever been through Glennallen on the Glenn Highway you've passed this old lodge. Gone are the days of traveling Alaska highways stopping at lodge to lodge. Many reasons like they kept burning down, couldn't afford required by law handicap access renovations and the main reason I believe is cars run better and further these days. No reason to stop if the road is good and you have enough gas to get to the big city. Another reason could be the DUI laws stopped drivers from stopping in for drinks for the road.

Last summer, on our camping/fishing trips to Lake Louise, I noticed somebody had started fixing this old lodge up. The boarded windows were replaced with windows and through the long window on the left you could see a big table with people sitting down for dinner. It looked like the new owners were not fixing it up to open for business but to live in.

It will be interesting to see what they do with it.
