I thought I had read on Whiteblaze thread that Bascom Lodge was opening up with big ceremony on Memorial day. Does anyone have any news on this?

I was open there over the Holiday weekend.

Bascom Lodge is still closed.

The new Auto Road is open.

The State has leased the Lodge to a local restaurant group that is still repairing the interior. I believe they are scheduled to open by the end of the summer.

There are Porta-Potties at the summit but no water source.

Bummer on the water. There is a pond just south of the summit on the AT, that may have an inlet or outlet or just treat the pond water. The next water source northbound is not too far from the shelter.
