It's been a long wait, but FINALLY, Alcova Resort is holding its official reopening after a fire that devastated their restaurant/bar and shop a few years ago.

Here is what they posted on their Facebook page. 

May 15th, marks a transformative milestone that will ignite a sense of joy and possibility - our official opening day!

We're excited to unveil our stunning new building and share this exhilarating experience with you, launching a summer that promises to be truly unforgettable.

They have kept the marina open while completely rebuilding what burned down.

The new building is BEAUTIFUL!

Let's turn back the clock to see what the fire had done.

On the morning of July 4th, 2023, the Alcova Marina was engulfed in flames.

The building was a total loss.

The tedious work of cleaning up and the investigation were going on simultaneously.

In the parking lot below, there was a pickup truck with some yellow police tape on it.

The truck was parked overnight near the structure that caught fire.

One side of the truck looks perfectly fine.

The other side, however.

That poor truck was just melted by the heat.

Paint, tires, and anything plastic sit, sagging like wax that dripped down the side of a candle.

I'm sure the insurance company is going to love looking at photos of this mess.

The only thing I could not see was the inside of the vehicle.

I wonder how the dash and the seats look.

Let's take a look at another angle where you can see the side view mirror.

That's completely melted and drooping.

The plastic covers for the tail and headlights are the same.

Looks like the trim around the wheel well was also plastic.

At this point, those out there with a sense of humor are saying, "That will buff out."

Well, actually, on the surface, it looks like everything here can be fixed.

On the surface.

The insurance company will probably total it.

Alcova On Ice

One of Wyoming's most beautiful lakes, seen after weeks of winter storms and sub-zero temperatures.

The ice can be heard making strange noises, from snap, crackle, and pop, to glub glub.

The works of people talking in a normal tone of voice carry across the frozen surface.
