Located in a very remote part of the Scottish Highlands, Bynack Lodge, an old and long abandoned hunting lodge, sits near the head of Bynack Burn. Beyond we can see the Cairngorm mountains rising to a dark and foreboding sky.

The Lake McDonald Lodge is a historic lodge located within Glacier National Park, on the southeast shore of Lake McDonald. The lodge is a 3+1⁄2-story structure built in 1913 based on Kirtland Cutter's design. The foundation and first floor walls are built of stone, with a wood-frame superstructure.
I know....I know, I hear you moan....Spring is around the corner and here comes Osi, posting yet MORE pictures of snowy landscapes! But...the sim is beautiful! So here we go :-)
Capture made late at night outside the place we stayed while near Ricketts Glen. The lodge there is very homelike, and the owner is terrific. Just 10 minutes from the park, it is a nice slow pace part of America to take in.
Heading back to Little Kulala Lodge from our "game drive" and first sundowner, the air was still full of the dust that had been whipped up by the afternoon dust storms.

When Jimmy Simpson camped at Bow Lake in 1898, he vowed that one day he would "build a shack here". Twenty-five years later he began building the first log cabin on the site and had a permanent base for his outfitting tours. He called his operation Num-Ti-Jah, a Stoney Plain word for pine marten, a small animal similar to a sable.
In 1937, the Banff-Jasper highway was completed as far as Bow Lake. Jimmy, his wife Billie and their children Margaret, Mary and Jimmy jr. began expanding on the original dream of a "shack". With the earnings from Margaret and Mary's professional ice-skating tours, the building of Num-Ti-Jah Lodge began. In 1940, the Lodge had six guest rooms. By 1950, a beautiful log and stone hotel with 16 rooms stood on the shores of Bow Lake.

This was our first time staying in one the historic NP lodges.
We had a really nice two-night stay in this charming 1915 lodge. This lounge area is outside the dining room. HWW!

Lower Lodge in Cockington Village, Torbay, is a Grade II listed building that dates back to the early to mid-19th century. It is made of local stone rubble with red sandstone quoins and Bathstone detail, and has a gabled slate roof. The lodge is terraced into the hillslope, and a sunken drive to Cockington Court passes through the middle of it, while a lane is carried over the drive behind the lodge.

Switch engine for the day.
Quite the overkill for a yard switch engine and the biggest power they could find. However, it was fun watching the behemoth struggle.

Meeting with Chania Leuce, the owner and creator of the sim(s) (it's more than 1 sim actually)
The rustic Lake Quinault Lodge in Olympic National Forest dates to 1926. Marg and I stayed here for two nights recently. Its rugged architecture reminded me of the Lodge at Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park. Its style is definitely well suited to the woodland environment where it resides.

Timberline Lodge is a mountain lodge on the south side of Mount Hood in Clackamas County, Oregon. Constructed from 1936 to 1938 by the Works Progress Administration, it was built and furnished by local artisans during the Great Depression.

Porters Lodge, near Castle Ashby, Northamptonshire. It appears that a track, then path still leads to Castle Ashby House from here.
