Brief Interlude continued

 The forecast called for a change in the weather that threatened to ruin the feathery, frosted tree branches that transformed this area, so I grabbed my camera and headed the seven miles into Moose Pass to get some shots there.


Mid afternoon is late to be taking photos in December.



Driving past Trail Lake.




I don't know the original use for this little building, but I sure like the looks of it.




And the official greeting sign.







The town Christmas tree.





One of, if not the oldest buildings in town is the iconic Estes Bros store.   It's almost a 100 years old.

If the state highway design engineers get their way, it will be demolished to make way for highway improvements.   The store pre-dates the highway that is threatening to destroy it.




A closer look.



Then there's a lodge that has been here since the 1950s.   First called the Jockey Club, it is now called Trail Lake Lodge.






Across from the lodge is the community hall/library.





And the Methodist church.





Down the road is the Alaska Railroad siding with a snowplow parked and ready.





The post office.





On the way out of town, one of the prettiest homes in downtown.









Another iconic building is the old Moose Pass Inn, scheduled for demolition because of its advanced state of deterioration.





Trail Lake again from the other angle.






And back out the Seward highway.





Hope you enjoyed a brief tour of a snowy Moose Pass.

  2. Such a beautiful area to photograph. Is the Trail Lake Lodge the one that you and Ken owned and remodeled?
