VIP government lodging in national parks

Post by chumley »

Interesting read about the historic Brinkerhoff Cabin at Grand Teton NP.

Seems like a good way to keep historic buildings in good condition (at least one they closed is now in disrepair).

I think NPS need a bit more transparency about who uses it, when, and the budget/fees involved.

I thought that was going to be a small, "cabin". That might be historic, but that is one of those million dollar cabins.

This is a very large log home, not a log cabin. :scared:
A log lodge would be a better description for it. :M2C:
Yes, rent it out but charge for it accordingly please and do not stick the taxpayer for maintaining it. :-({|=
