December 2009


On December 17, 2009, we purchased the Historic Emigrant Gap Hotel Annex AKA the Allen Hotel AKA the Woodmen Lodge AKA the Bright Lodge NKA our family Lodge.

We had the electricity turned on immediately - but  due to a big freeze the first week of December, we were unable to turn on our well (leaks in the copper pipe) or the propane (since it only ran the old kitchen stove and we were unsure if the stove even worked).  

We had already rented our Holiday cabin for 2009 at Alpine Meadows.  I had to return to our hometown to pick up the dog on 12/23.  

Due to bad weather and a late start up the pass, I spent my first night at the lodge on 12/23/2009.   I had a sofabed, a chair, a table, a lamp and Quincy to keep me company.  Oh and I had a portable heater and a down sleeping bag to keep me warm.
