Show PUFFER LAKE LODGE WRECKED BY SNOW Six to eight feet of heavy snow in the vicinity of Puffer Lake has caved-in caved-in the roof of the lodge at that place during the winter and badly damaged the building, is the report brought back by Ranger H. M. Christensen and Ed Larsen, who made a trip to the lake on snow-shoes Monday, returning re-turning the following day. Messrs. Christensen and Larsen drove to the upper Telluride plant in a car, from there to Thompson's Hole the journey was made on horses. The remainder of the distance was covered cover-ed on snow-shoes. They report an immense amount of snow packed in the box canyons which will delay the opening of the road to the lake until probably the first of June. Mr. Christensen visited the Big Flat ranger station, while Mr. Larsen looked over the lodge to determine the repairs needed on the building for reopening it by the time fishing season sea-son opens. As soon as it is possible to start work the resort building will be put in first-class shape for the coming season. |
