Big Four

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the burning of the Big Four Lodge, east of Silverton. The 28 year old lodge was closed at the time due to road construction in the area. The only person there was "40" Watts, the caretaker. Ol' 40 couldn't save the Lodge but kept the fuel station from going up in flames, so in honor of his heroic measures the 40 watt bulb was created (just kidding). The old fireplace is all that remains of the lodge today, it is very picturesque fireplace indeed. Here are some photos from Big 4 over the years.
