I'm not 100% sure on the DSL ports but they do have wireless albeit spotty at best.
And there is a common computer in the Adventure Center for sending emails and stuff (or at least there was one there last time I was there).

Thanks! That definitely helps. I've got wireless so I'll just need to move around until I find a good spot LOL.

Thanks,
Celia

They usually have two DSL lines set up in the lobby at the Lodge. And there's wireless at the Lodge too. It reaches some of the cabins but it's pretty spotty beyond the actual Lodge building.

We left early Friday morning, after spending the night at the Lodge. We passed some people on their way back from the Dragon Parade as we were headed out. Our cabin was one of those affected by the fire Thursday, and our spirits to stay on until Sunday were casualties, too. I had paid to enter my Silk Green Cooper, but we just decided to forego it all and get back home, instead. Oh well...maybe next year...or maybe not.

Here is a photo gallery showing MINIBee at the car show. It was my first show and I had a great time! Thanks to all who came by and shared such kind words. It was great to share my Cooper with all of you. Sorry I don't have photos of other cars. I was next to last in the judging and had to stay with my MINI until judged.

Gallery HERE.

It was great to meet you and talk to you before you left. Sorry you had to leave early and miss the show. Love to see the Silk Green Coopers! What a great color!

See you next year.

Sorry you missed it Misfit. You could have given Nate and Dope some competition in the "mad Modded" class. I was 2nd for modded S thanks to the all mighty coin toss.
Congrats wetceal!
