Grand Canyon - North Rim Lodge "controlled burn" down
89AKurt posted a topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
The second time the North Rim Lodge burnt down. But last time there wasn't modern Codes, so I don't think it will ever be rebuilt. This really ticks me off: [...] initially managed as a controlled burn after being sparked by lightning on July 4, rapidly spread due to high winds and dry conditions. [...] Who keeps telling us there is a drought? Who runs the weather forecast system? My dad retired from the NPS just when they changed their policy, if natural caused let it burn. But come on, no excuse for this. I'm really depressed since I lived on the South Rim as a kid. Dad was a Seasonal at the North Rim, mom was working for Fred Harvey, the rest is history. Now this iconic Park Service lodge (and gas station and other buildings) looks like California. He took this slide picture. I stayed in a log cabin several years ago, took a Mule ride, sure glad I did, you never know.- 10 replies
