Scenes from Northwind Lodge - 70 years and counting!

Jasper Creek Falls at Northwind Lodge by Cabin 2

Northwind Lodge has now 70 years of continuous operation by the same family under it's belt. It began with my grandpa and grandma Frank & Mary to my dad and mom, Joe & Paula to me and my wife, Joe, Jr. & Annette.  

I'd like to introduce you to a few of the faces of the people with whom we grew up in the resort life at Northwind Lodge.  Yes, these are modern years depicted, but this is only a tiny smattering of the photos of the folks who've been staying with us year after year for over 50 years with some families!  I often think about all the family histories to which we've been a part and it is truly amazing.  Births, deaths, marriages starting-ending-repairing, new jobs, job losses, new cars, illnesses, healing, quirks, happiness, peacefulness, a thousand-plus different stories, all as we come to know our lodge guests many of whom have become close family of sorts living far away for the rest of the year. Northwind Lodge is not simply a "property" to us Baltich's.  Our history is rich and deep with more exposures to more people than most will see in an entire lifetime.

Also included are scenes from our resort.  This is what wilderness living looks like today.  At Northwind Lodge, it is still a lot like it was 70 years ago but now the water runs in plumbing as opposed to having to "run and go get it" like we did back in the day.
