This Looks Like It Might Be => A Very Early Photo Of The Original Rough & Ready Lochsa Lodge, Built 1928 By Swedish Immigrant Andrew Erickson As A Hunting And Trapping Retreat.,Erikson Was Formerly A Fur Trapper And Hunting Guide Who Emigrated To The United States From Sweden
… At least, This “Very Early Photo” Conclusion Is Suggested By The Late 1920’s Automobile, Which Does Not Look Like Purposely Put There To Fake A Different Date.
… In an email, Matthew Hohenstreet, who has owned the New Rebuilt Lochsa Lodge now for 5 years says =>
“The /\above/\ photo with the covered deck, is the back of the lodge, facing South. This is the original old lodge that burned down.”
NOTE: Although it looks like the Automobile is under the lodge overhang, look closely to see that it is between the building-end-post and the tree.

,,,,By 1929, when Andrew Erickson built the original Lochsa Lodge, this area was renowned for its wildness and drew sportsmen who traveled the trail from Missoula, Montana, or the Lolo Motorway from Kooskia, Idaho. Lochsa Lodge got a little more accessible in 1963, when highway 12 opened a route from Kooskia, Idaho to nearby Lolo, Montana.
….Generations of travelers, hunters, and thrill seekers have stopped a night or two at the lodge.

Lochsa Lodge Burns To The Ground. Log Building Near Lolo Pass Is Destroyed Despite The Best Efforts Of Many.
…. Excerpt From Lewiston Tribune and Missoulian. Mar 1, 2001
,,,,POWELL, IDAHO - The historic Lochsa Lodge burned to the ground Wednesday despite efforts to save the rustic log structure by lodge employees, guests and personnel from the nearby U.S. Forest Service and state highway department stations.
,,,,The lodge, about 11 miles on the Idaho side of Lolo Pass along U.S. Highway 12, was built in 1928 by Swedish immigrant Andrew Erickson as a hunting and trapping retreat, according to owner Susie Denton.
,,,,The Denton family has owned and operated the Lochsa Lodge for the past 32 years, said Denton's husband Don. "My folks, Gus and Gerry Denton, ran it for 17 years," he said. "My wife and I have been up here for 15 years." (End Excerpt)

Saturday, July 20, 2024 ….A Photo Of Lochsa Lodge Found Their Photo Display Wall Inside The Newer Rebuilt Lochsa Lodge.
Lochsa Lodge, US-12, Lochsa River Canyon, ID.
Interesting Passage Found On Instagram.
…Lochsa Lodge was originally built as a hunting retreat by Andrew Erickson. This Swedish immigrant was known as, “an old-time Swede… [a] real fine old fella, hard-nosed, opinionated, but priceless.”
His “big heart” gained the local landmark status for the lodge. Known for its untamed wilderness, the area drew hunters and sportsmen who traveled from all over.
Around the same time, the Lochsa Historical Ranger station was built, used as a forest service hub for backcountry operations in the area.
Today we are located close to Powell Ranger Station. Today it all looks a little different. Today our crew is lucky to call it home. There is so much history along this river. Take a drive and discover the story nature tells.”

A Longer History of Lochsa Lodge, From Their Own WebSite:=>
SINCE 1929: THE STORY OF LOCHSA LODGE.
…Long before Lochsa Lodge became a landmark destination, this remarkable place was home to the indigenous Nez Perce people, who gave the nearby river the name lochsa (pronounced “lock-saw”), or “rough water.” The famed Lochsa River defines this isolated area, often referred to simply as “the Lochsa.” The wild and scenic river has never been dammed and flows just as freely today as it did back then.
Prior To The 19th Century.
…The Lochsa was the home and hunting grounds of the Nez Perce, the Kootenai, and the Salish
The indigenous Nez Perce traveled along the Lochsa River to the Montana plains to hunt buffalo, while the Kootenai and Salish (Flatheads) from Montana used the river trail to catch salmon in the Columbia basin rivers and streams.
1805
…Lewis and Clark’s famed Corps of Discovery traveled through the Lochsa
In June of 1805, it was the wildness of the Lochsa that convinced the westward expedition to employ Nez Perce guides. Wrote William Clark, “If we proceeded and should get bewildered in these mountains, the certainty was that we would lose all our horses and consequently our baggage, instruments, perhaps our papers, and then eventually risk the loss of our discoveries which we had already made, if we should be so fortunate to escape with life… Under these circumstances we decided it madness in this stage of the expedition to proceed without a guide."
On September 14, 1805, the Corps of Discovery camped near the Lochsa River on their way back eastward.
…Today the area adjacent to their historic campsite is home to Lochsa Lodge. Clark described the river as “at this place 80 yards wide, Swift and Stoney.” No doubt following the advice of their Nez Perce guides, the group did not attempt to portage or cross the Lochsa River.
…The expedition called the river after the English name of the area Salish tribe, dubbing it the “Flathead River” at times and later “Koos koos ke.” It is likely the Corps never heard the river’s “rough water” moniker that generations of Native Americans had used: the Lochsa.
1929
…Swedish immigrant Andrew Erickson built the original Lochsa Lodge
By the time Andrew Erickson built the original Lochsa Lodge as a hunting retreat, this area was renowned for its untamed wilderness and drew hunters and sportsmen who traveled the trail from Missoula, Montana, or the Lolo Motorway from Kooskia, Idaho. Erickson was a Swedish immigrant to the area, and a well-known fur trapper and hunter, who was described by those who knew him as “an old-time Swede… [a] real fine old fella, hard-nosed, opinionated, but priceless.” Erickson didn’t have much business sense, and lodged hunters for whatever price they offered, but the lodge still gained local landmark status for hospitality out of Erickson’s “big heart.”
1930s
…Lochsa Lodge was a community hub of dancing, food, and old fashioned fun
The lodge was a local destination for decades, as well as the Lochsa Historical Ranger Station, which was built around the same time and used by the Forest Service as a hub for backcountry operations in the area.
…The welcoming atmosphere of the lodge grew when Andrew Erickson married Maude, who brought new life, a jukebox, and dancing to the lodge. A local resident who knew the Ericksons well said Maude Erickson was “a good businesswoman” and a “sweetheart,” who “put the lodge on a sound economic footing.” Families traveled to the lively tavern and restaurant at Lochsa Lodge and the surrounding area for recreation, hiking, and weekend escapes into the wild.
1984
…Donald “Gus” and Geraldine “Gerry” Denton bought Lochsa Lodge, then fallen into disrepair
After years of neglect, Lochsa Lodge’s second life as a welcoming stopping point for thousands began in 1984, when local couple Gus and Gerry Denton purchased the lodge and began renovations. The couple had previously owned and operated the Syringa Cafe and Truck Stop, a well-known local spot for a comforting home-cooked meal and homemade huckleberry pie.
…The Dentons had opened Syringa Cafe and Truck Stop in 1963 as the then-new U.S. Highway 12 brought a surge of new visitors to the area, and the family saw the need for expanded hospitality for travelers and adventurers. With careful attention to the history of the Lodge, the Dentons enlisted the help of family and friends to bring Lochsa Lodge back to life, and built the existing country store and fuel station as it stands today.
2001-2002 Rebuilding on the legacy of Lochsa Lodge.
…A devastating chimney fire took down the original Lochsa Lodge building in 2001. While the Dentons, lodge employees and guests, and Forest Service personnel fought the fire feverishly, the 70-year-old roof shakes kept reigniting. Guests, friends, and locals–all invested in the lodge’s communal value–removed as many items from the lodge as possible before the structure burned to the ground.
…One Forest Service employee who fought the fire said the lodge "was a wonderful, special place, with a lot of history. We would all donate our time to try to save this place.” Fortunately, no other structures were damaged during the fire, and no one was injured.
…Even then, there was no question that the lodge would rise again–which it did in May 2002, using the same quality, sturdy craftsmanship that our original guests would have recognized.

The ZMM Narrator says =>
… “. We sit down at a tableclothed table and order eggs, hot cakes, maple syrup, milk, sausages and orange juice. That cold wind has worked up an appetite.
"I want to write a letter to Mom," Chris says.
…That sounds good to me. I go to the desk and get some of the lodge stationery.I go to the desk and get some of the lodge stationery. I bring it to Chris and give him my pen. That brisk morning air has given him some energy too. He puts the paper in front of him, grabs the pen in a heavy grip and then concentrates on the blank paper for a while.
He looks up. "What day is it?"
I tell him. He nods and writes it down.
Then I see him write, "Dear Mom:" Then he stares at the paper for a while. Then he looks up. "What should I say?"
I start to grin. I should have him write for an hour about one side of a coin. I’ve sometimes thought of him as a student but not as a rhetoric student.
We’re interrupted by the hot cakes and I tell him to put the letter to one side and I’ll help him afterward.
When we are done I sit smoking with a leaden feeling from the hot cakes and the eggs and everything and notice through the window that under the pines outside the ground is in patches of shadow and sunlight.
Chris brings out the paper again. "Now help me," he says.
"Okay," I say. I tell him getting stuck is the commonest trouble of all. Usually, I say, your mind gets stuck when you’re trying to do too many things at once. What you have to do is try not to force words to come. That just gets you more stuck. What you have to do now is separate out the things and do them one at a time. You’re trying to think of what to say and what to say first at the same time and that’s too hard. So separate them out. Just make a list of all the things you want to say in any old order. Then later we’ll figure out the right order.
"Like what things?" he asks.
"Well, what do you want to tell her?"
"About the trip."
"What things about the trip?"
He thinks for a while. "About the mountain we climbed."
"Okay, write that down," I say.
He does. Then I see him write down another item, then another, while I finish my cigarette and coffee. He goes through three sheets of paper, listing things he wants to say.
"Save those," I tell him, "and we’ll work on them later."
"I’ll never get all this into one letter," he says.
He sees me laugh and frowns. I say, "Just pick out the best things." Then we head outside and onto the motorcycle again.”

.****************..
U.S. Forest Service - Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest's FacebookPost. => 23 Years Ago Today: Old Lochsa Lodge Burns Down Mar 1, 2001.
…OnThisDay in 2001, the historic Lochsa Lodge, originally constructed in 1928, burnt to the ground. Lodge employees, Powell Ranger District Staff, and Idaho Department of Transportation personnel worked together to save the historic and beloved structure, but the blaze was too intense and the building was destroyed completely. A year later, this beloved institution was rebuilt and is open 365 days a year to Forest visitors.
The original Lochsa Lodge was built by Andrew Erickson, a fur trapper and hunting guide who emigrated to the United States from Sweden. Bud Moore remembered Erickson as, “a real fine old fella, hard-nosed, opinionated, but priceless” Erickson expanded his facilities over time, building some of the cabins that still stand today and which survived the fire. Erickson himself was a bit of a legendary figure, having supposedly successfully won a fight with a Black Bear in 1940 who surprised him while fishing.
…The fire began at around 8 AM and was first detected by a 4 year-old child of a Lochsa Lodge employee. The fire originated in the historic shake roof and later roof layers blocked access. Though at times it appeared that the firefighting effort was successful, the shakes underneath the tin roof reignited. Lodge staff, Forest employees, guests, and state employees salvaged historic antiques, furniture, and other important items from the burning building. They also worked together to protect the rest of the Lochsa Lodge from the fire.
…Triumphing over this tragedy, the Lochsa Lodge was rebuilt one year later. The fact that no life, including the two raccoons who lived beneath the Lodge were lost was a testament to quick action and teamwork.
