Search called off for children missing in lodge explosion
PAONIA, Colorado (AP) -- Three youngsters were missing and 16 other people were injured after a fiery explosion that destroyed a remote mountain lodge as people started arriving for a family reunion, authorities said Sunday.

The three missing youngsters, ages 3, 12, and 15, were all from the same family, Delta County Sheriff Fred McKee said.

2. CAN they use electricity?
I gather these mountain lodges are quite remote, and therefore off the electric grid.

Solar power would make more sense than electricity.
