Mpbin is spending a two-weeks vacation in Ashland— the first vacation he has taken in the last four years, and although he has been here less than two weeks, expresses himself as almost home sick and anxious to get back to his snow-bound mountain home. "One. learns to love the stillness and Isolation,” Mabin says. The road to the lodge was closed in November and from that time, until April 28 when he left the lodge to come to Ashland Mabin was alone, except for an occasional visitor, usually a par ticipant in a ski race, who sought' shelter and hospitality of the Lodge after having made the 21 mile trip to the Summit of the lake. , , ■ Malgin occupies the big 150 room tourist lodge and much of his time during the long winter months io upent in repairing and re painting the Lodge furniture, preparatory for the three-month tourist season which nsualiy starts July 1 and ends the lat ter part /gf September.
