Mill Creek Lodge


Mill Creek Lodge (Where its NOT happening!)

Hello.

This is a very new photo of the old Mill Creek Lodge.

The only difference in the photo and others you may have seen years ago is our green Chevrolet Aveo parked over on the right.

Change is in the air as they say, but some things change a bit less or slower than others!

And this antique building is one of those things!


When we drove over the Lassen Park Highway from the north last fall I was flabbergasted to see the huge "new" (I imagine) parking lot at the trail-head of the hiking trail to the mountain's summit! There was even a hot-dog stand or some such in the lot--and maybe a hundred cars already parked and their occupants already on the trail I suppose!

(Population explosion!!!)

Of course it had been several years since my last visit!

And when we drove around the corner below the Sulphur Works I was surprised again by the absence of the Lassen Chalet!

Holy Mackerel it was GONE!

A brand new building was taking its place!

There is, they say, no place in the universe where nothing changes nor moves.

So it is.
