“Just back from another trip, this one marked 40 years I've been visiting the lodge. Operators have come and gone over the years, a fairly new one this year, he's been there for about a year. The good news is that quality is even better than it's been in the past. The cabin was super clean and incredibly well stocked with bedding and kitchen utensils. The other good news is that the new owner used to operate an Italian restaurant...”
