Roosevelt came into our room one year and took a nap on our bed for a few hours. Rested, he left, and when I saw him in the lobby that evening, he acted as if he didn't know me.
He adopted the Lodge, and accommodations were provided.
He was named by the staff after a President, who visited the Lodge in 1937
Before departing the Lake Quinault Lodge, the president met with a large crowd of onlookers in the spacious lobby – including Native American children in traditional dress displaying some of their crafts. The Roosevelts, Governor Martin and the rest of the party were later treated to a presentation by children of the nearby Taholah Indian School as well as a traditional Indian warrior display of strength…dozens of costumed tribesmen in dual war canoes paddling at great speeds as the motorcade passed.

It was calm, clear and cold at Lake Quinault this year.
