Anyone else lose power? After being in base lodge for a month. Our last night we lost power. Any ideas? And does this happen often?? 

Get used to it. There are also a fair number of scheduled power outages related to improving the situation by adding another substation on base:

Looks like the project will be done soon - says "Proposed in-service date: 4th quarter 2012". Not sure if they are on schedule/etc, but I've seen a flurry of activity around town - lots of new poles going up, cable being pulled, etc.
