Copper Center [link] and Petersville's [link] old original roadhouses both burned this winter. *mikewheels may have thought the place you photographed was the roadhouse at Petersville that I shared photos of on facebook when I got the sad news.

Awwwwwwww you're kidding meee!!?? That's so sad! I used to drive by that roadhouse in Copper Center all the time! Yeah, I was so confused when he told me that and it concerned me enough that I called Talkeetna to find out if it was true! But that's sad about both roadhouses. Thank you for the real story, sad as it was.

No problem. With the news story on the Copper Center Roadhouse burning the article said it was one of the very few remaining original Alaskan roadhouses left. I hope very much to go find and photograph any that might remain this summer.

Great idea!! I visited the Birdhouse south of Anchorage a few times many many years ago. I even tacked one of my personal items on a post in there (if you know the place)...and then IT burned down too, long after I left Alaska. That was sad too!

Thanks I bet it was a cold and long night up on that glacier. I saw in your gallery the road house picture. I don't know if you heard but it burnt down this spring. It was a big deal up here sad but I hope they rebuild it.

Yeah, it got cold all right..especially when the wind picked up and rushed down that glacier! I'm sorry, I have no idea which photo in my gallery you're referring to. I don't have any "road house" shots that I know of. Can you look again and tell me what the title is of the photo you're talking about?
