.****************..
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.

Interesting Lochsa Lodge History Found =>
…The Lochsa Lodge was built by Andrew Erickson, a Swedish immigrant, fur trapper and hunting guide, in 1928. According to the FB post. Erickson and a brother had a home near Missoula, but Andrew Erickson preferred to work an 80-mile long trap line in the Lochsa River Area. Maude Erickson, his wife, brought business sense to the concern and made it profitable. Steve Russell (see links below), was later owner of the Locha Lodge (1950s). The Lodge also served as a refuge for motorists driving through in inclement weather, some sleeping on the lobby sofa.

…”Through the lens of Bud Moore, who grew up and spent his life in the land of the Lochsa and the adjoining Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, The Lochsa Story brings us this history of a rugged region that that is subtly entwined in some of our nation’s most important history. Moore was a Forest Service ranger – and not accomplished author; Could he really do this place justice? I expected dry history. But, from Lewis and Clark to Chief Joseph, to the early trappers, hunters and the blossoming U.S. Forest Service rangers, the historical accounts in the Lochsa Story, woven with the author’s own personal accounts from the last grizzly bears to deadly wildfires, were beyond captivating.”

NOTE: Back before White settlement, the indigenous Nez Perce people gave the nearby river the name lochsa, or “rough water.” Our river has never been dammed and flows just as freely as it did back then. 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.

… As Designed By An Architect, Is Real Modern & Fancy!
……Since We Have Not Yet Obtained A Proper Photo, Please Imagine This Is A Present Day Scene, For What The ZMM Narrator Describes.
….“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. ”

Looking Back Along The Road Toward Lochsa Lodge.
….“On the road down the canyon now we feel the steady drop of altitude by a popping of ears. It’s becoming warmer and the air is thicker too. It’s goodbye to the high country, which we’ve been more or less in since Miles City.
.... Stuckness. That’s what I want to talk about today.
.... Back on our trip out of Miles City you’ll remember I talked about how formal scientific method could be applied to the repair of a motorcycle through the study of chains of cause and effect and the application of experimental method to determine these chains. The purpose then was to show what was meant by classic rationality.
.... Now I want to show that that classic pattern of rationality can be tremendously improved, expanded and made far more effective through the formal recognition of Quality in its operation. Before doing this, however, I should go over some of the negative aspects of traditional maintenance to show just where the problems are. .
... The first is stuckness, a mental stuckness that accompanies the physical stuckness of whatever it is you’re working on. The same thing Chris was suffering from. ” [ When Chris Tries to write his letter to his Mother. ]

Suddenly the Trees “Open Up” and There Is Grass.
….“What you’re up against is the great unknown, the void of all Western thought. You need some ideas, some hypotheses. Traditional scientific method, unfortunately, has never quite gotten around to say exactly where to pick up more of these hypotheses. Traditional scientific method has always been at the very best, 20-20 hindsight. It’s good for seeing where you’ve been. It’s good for testing the truth of what you think you know, but it can’t tell you where you ought to go, unless where you ought to go is a continuation of where you were going in the past. Creativity, originality, inventiveness, intuition, imagination—"unstuckness," in other words—are completely outside its domain. .. We continue down the canyon, past folds in the steep slopes where wide streams enter. We notice the river grows rapidly now as streams enlarge it. Turns in the road are less sharp here and straight stretches are longer. I move into the highest gear.” (Cont. Next)

A Huge Forest Fire Burned Off This Whole Area Many Years Ago!
….“Later the trees become scarce and spindly, with large areas of grass and underbrush between them. It’s too hot for the jacket and sweater so I stop at a roadside pulloff to remove them. ” (Cont. Next)
Colgate Lick Rest Area, Lochsa River Canyon, ID. This is the only “open area” I remember as I drove the Lochsa River Canyon, so this must be the Narrator’s “roadside pulloff. ”
….Next the Narrator will take up “Stuckness“ and “Unstuckness”. This is leading up to and is really part of his “Gumptionology 101”. He later calls this type of Chautauqua “dry and boring”, in which we see that such “hot & dry” material he reserves for lower elevations, where it is hot or, as here, getting warm.
…But, by contrast, when they happen to go up to higher, cooler, elevations, the Gumptionology discussions are interrupted, so that the reader (and Author Robert Pirsig) can enjoy the cooler forests and meadows, and good riding. For the reader, these are welcomed breaks away from heavy, “dry and boring” discussion.
….Please start to notice this pattern.

…A Huge Forest Fire Burned Off This Whole Area “In The Late 1950’s”,
……And Because This Area Is So Dry, The Forest Has Yet To Grow Back, Despite The Fire Was So Many Years Ago!
….“ Chris wants to go hiking up a trail and I let him, finding a small shady spot to sit back and rest. Just quiet now, and meditative. .. A display describes a fire burn that took place here years ago. According to the information the forest is filling in again but it will be years before it returns to its former condition.” (Cont. Next)
Colgate Lick Rest Area, Lochsa River Canyon, ID. I believe this is very probably the “ fire burn“ area mentioned by the Narrator. Many thanks to Mr. Rick Parker of the Lochsa Ranger Station, U.S. National Forest Service, for this photo.
….As you can see in my previous two photos of this area, that there are very few trees. This is because, in this area of low rainfall, trees can grow only very, very slowly, and thus it takes many, many decades for the forest to “return to normal”!
….This is possibly the sign seen by the Narrator, or a sign quite similar. The sign in this photo shows the various "burns" on the ridge opposite the river. Click here to see a panorama that includes the ridge shown in the sign. Attention: When the panorama comes up, click on the panorama to get the largest view.

This Gravel Trail Is Very Likely Chris’s Path Of Return.
….“Later the crunch of gravel tells me Chris is coming back down the trail. He didn’t go very far. When he arrives he says, "Let’s go." We retie the pack, which has started to shift a little, and then move out on the highway. The sweat from sitting there cools suddenly from the wind.
.... We’re still stuck on that screw and the only way it’s going to get unstuck is by abandoning further examination of the screw according to traditional scientific method. That won’t work. What we have to do is examine traditional scientific method in the light of that stuck screw.” (Cont. Next)
Colgate Lick Rest Area, Lochsa River Canyon, ID. Pay attention to the Narrator’s “We retie the pack, which has started to shift a little” and “sweat from sitting there cools suddenly … ”. These poetically amplify the Narrator's current "stuck screw“ Chautauqua.
…. Readjusting the shifted pack and retying the load corresponds to re-evaluating, in a big way, how one looks at the "stuck screw” ! And, if one finally does achieve a new great solution to the "stuck screw”, then this will be a nice breeze that “cools suddenly from the wind” !!
….So, the shifting of the pack and need to re-tie, is by metaphoric transfer, telling us about the need for Quality Action, to refine and improve on the limitations of traditional scientific method.
….NEW TOPIC:
…Chris did not go very far because the Narrator did not go with him. NO FUN. Had the Father gone with the Son, they might have both together shared in discovering the old mineral springs and salt lick, mentioned in the previous photo! Apparently, there all kinds of interesting animal tracks are around there.
