Lutsen Lodge was destroyed by a fire last night, which is truly unfortunate.

Yes, it was a magnificent building that will be very difficult to reconstruct. A real loss.

I have faith. I felt the same way until I learned that it had burned down before. The idea that they had created it from scratch more than once gives me hope.

Did Papa Charlie's burn down in the last year too?

Papa Charlie's and now the Lodge itself? Hmmm...

Scandinavian Lightning, perhaps?

Well I know a few people who are going to the lutsen 99er that have to find new bookings.
I know a guy who's a bit convinced that this, Papa Charlie's and the Grand Marais fire 4 years ago all where from people unhappy about all the tourism up the north shore.
Don't really believe it but did joke with him a bit that Spirit Mountain or Cuyuna could be next.
