I have a book titled ” THE HISTORY OF ARROWHEAD LODGE” written by Elyse D Bliss and would be glad to give to someone interested in the lodge. It was published in 1991 by Poudre Profile Publishing Company of Kinikinik Ranch, Bellvue, Colorado. Email: retillman@msn.com

reading through the sections above i get reminded that the lodge where i worked and cristina as i knew her was the outreach worker was west over the poudre canyon and was the m-m lodge owned by rex shelley: anybody know if it is “HISTORY”
Another story of mine about the poudre canyon is that the summer of 1973 I spent all of june and part of july there at the m-m lodge and when i decided to come home to southern colorado on my 1962 chevy (blue) 2-door hardtop, now a highly sought out classic; the transmission on it gave and i left it on the side of the road in hopes that i could come back and get it within the next week or so. well as it was , i was not able to come and retrieve it so i essentially had to abandon it, I dont know what became of it, i have a picture of it. Actually someone took a picture of me and christina leaning on it. iF ANYONE READS THIS BLOG AND HAS ANY INFORMATION OR REMEMBERS SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT BECAME OF MY BEAUTIFULO 1962 CHEV. IMPALA. INCLUDING SOME OF MY BELONGINGS.

I think I spent nearly every summer there as I grew up. My father’s family had spent vacations there for many many years. I remember the Case family well. I didn’t really appreciate going there when I was a kid, I was bored to death. But let me tell you, I wish I could stay there today! We had to tote our water and wood for the fire and go out back to the outhouse to use the facilities (as such as they were). Lights were hanging in the middle of the room and just a lightbulb on a wire. It was rustic but now when I look back, it as wonderful! We are traveling that direction next week and I am praying that the fires out there left my old vacation spot alone. I hope it is there forever.

I worked with the Case family for the last years Arrowhead Lodge was open. Fond memories of peeling all the potatoes, cutting up chickens, baking all the pies for the famous Sunday dinners after church at the Poudre Chapel…. we had 3 or 4 seatings in the dining room. Special guests prompted a fish fry and there were plenty of pranks on the regulars… Lola and Stan were the best and we always looked forward to weekends when Sandy and Jack and MO would be there for plenty of fun! Those were good days! I’ve been by the Lodge now that it isn’t part of the Case family…. it is just not the same….. But in my memory, it will always be a special place with a special place in Poudre Canon history….

I spent time at Arrowhead lodge in the 60′s and seventies, when the Case family owned it. It was wonderful and I have great memories of the Case girls. Cheryl was my age and Christie and Sandy were younger. I remember playing the games in their game room and helping the girls to select the weekly movie ( Quite a good turnout from the canyon folks) I think the Movie was “she wore a Yellow Ribbon” with John Wayne. I loved every minute I spent there.

Stan Case and his family owned arrowhead for years and he also wrote a really interesting book called the poudre-and has stories about the businesses and people up and down the canyon. I know the library has a copy. By the way his daughter is Sandy Case Lundt.
