I'd been over Montgomery Pass in 2015 on my way to Lee Vining, Mono Lake and Bodie, CA (spectacular trip) and the old lodge was in sad shape like your 2013 photos. I don't know when I got this matchbook cover but I'm glad to have considering.

Also note the phone #1 and the claim of the "world's highest casino" which now-a-days is claimed by the Wildwood Casino in Cripple Creek which is 9,593 feet above sea-level. Montgomery Pass is 7,149′
