We went rafting the next day, it was a lot of funn. Since it had been raining over the last few days the water level was up.

The next day we went zip lining, I have read an article in a magazine ( I think it was popular mechanics). We researched it and thought "lets do it". It was a blast.

This year we will ride up to SD to see Mt Rushmore. We are leaving May 14 and will be back May 24th, can't wait :yahoo: .

 
Great!

How was the Iron Horse Cabins for privacy? We're thinking of staying there this weekend.
The cabins are great, we stayed there 3 times now, it is better that some of the finer hotels that we have been too. One has manny choices from the cheap crammed in a room without a bathroom and cots to a whole house with everything one might think of. We had plenty of privacy.
