LOWELL/SYRINGA -- The Wilderness Inn will be open this week. Lara Smith talked to Steve Ryan in town (Kooskia) and he said they should be ready to open for the season early this week.
Downriver at Syringa everyone seems to be having a good winter. The little community is looking good and it's all cleaned up and ready for spring.
Remembering a few years ago the Syringa Cafe was closed and overrun by weeds, the old Harold Mundank place was a mess and after the mill closed it almost looked like a ghost town. Now, we have neighbors who care. The Fiore house is beautiful, Terry Jackson's place is like a park, Greg and Lorraine Smith's property is an asset as always, also Doug Benton's spot, and the new resort called River Dance Lodge is so inviting. It could be called a total renovation and everyone is ready for a little sunshine and then they can open their doors to the traveling public. Serving meals, taking raft trips, and offering services to everyone. Still not sure what the Jacksons are building but it's looking good.
In Lowell we have already started with the surge of early travelers. Last weekend we rented several cabins and now that the fish and game is here and this year two helicopters they flew over from Moose Creek and had all their stuff in a big sling. But they landed OK and are all set up and ready to start counting elk.
All the Daves are in town, Dave Shindel at his home on the hill above Lowell, Dave Graham, building a home above the confluence, and Dave Paddison who is at his home along the Selway. One more Dave and we might have to change the name of the town to Daveville!
Miss Martha had her hair cut. It looks good and when we asked her how she was going to have it cut next time she said, "Next time I'm going to get it cut longer?"
