Along 66, May 2020: That Ski Lodge in Daggett. The Virus and the Road
MAY 26-- Ski Lodge Roof House in Daggett, California, will be converted back into a visitors center. It is in a really neat-looking old building and was one of the state's earliest welcome centers at one time that did not have an inspection or registration. There were others.
It is also known as the Ski Slope Lodge or Russian House. It was built in 1926 and was originally used as a land office to sell lots in town.
Daggett is just about a ghost town these days with a population around 200.
And, who knows, perhaps it will lead to a renaissance for the town.
MAY 28-- Route 66 Road Ahead is conducting a survey on the negative input of COVID-19. No doubt. It has kept us of the road since it struck. My farthest trip from home has been 23 miles.
We could go to Route places, but it just wouldn't be as much fun with all the restrictions and possibility of getting, especially since we're both 68 with underlying health issues.
