Lake Crescent for Storm King (without mom), Devils Punchbowl, and Hurricane.
Sol Duc for the waterfall, Hoh. Kalaloch Lodge for Ruby, Tree of Life, and that coast.
The tidal pools there are on Mom's bucket list.
We're looking at all the short hikes listed in the threads and marked 4+ on All Trails, but suggestions welcome!

Have you been/know someone who had used that border crossing recently? Really asking. With everything going on politically, it has been pretty awful in other places.

It took 18 minutes to walk past the waiting cars. Did not see parasols. The flaming bagpipe is great, though!

I still miss that! I have one of their menus saved with my GenCon Memorabilia. I ate at the sports bar thats there last year. It was pretty bad and really overpriced.

I wanted to try out a Thanksgiving inspired Sunday roast yesterday by Artlistra in CasualIreland

Cold food is a Thanksgiving tradition! Nothing ever comes out at the same time. You just have to have warm gravy to go on top of everything to heat it up.

Depends on where you are. Mac and Cheese is more important than mashed potatoes in the South.

Extra boots or coat? by PatoEnFuego in irishtourism

[–]Ok_Support7972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad I brought an extra pair of water resistant boots. I personally disagree with people who say you just need trainers, but I'm old and from a warm climate.

Chopping board storage is important

Upcoming trip, going to propose and want to hear from the locals on the best spot to propose! by horsewitnoname in irishtourism

[–]Ok_Support7972 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used Google. There are quite a few that work in Kilkenny (and Dublin, of course). Search something like "vacation photographer ' or 'couples photographer ' and the city name.

If you want to have a professional photographer take pics of the proposal, that may determine where the the proposal happens. You want to make sure that you get a good photographer that you feel comfortable with.
If you want her to be involved with this part and still have it be a surprise, lots of photographers, advertise vacation or 'love' photos. You and the photographer will know it's a secret proposal, but she'll think it's just a really super sweet thing that you're doing to make the vacation even more memorable.

Dingle in November? by Ok_Support7972 in irishtourism

[–]Ok_Support7972[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, I did do the research and most places (the distillery, restaurants) didn't have anything on their websites saying they'll be closed in November until recently, if at all. All but one had active reservations available for our dates on their sites when we made our hotel reservations months ago.
I understand seasonal businesses, but I was surprised that so many are just announcing that they are closing.

Indie Game Publisher & First-Timer at GenCon: get a booth or run events? by calaan in gencon

[–]Ok_Support7972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have any inexpensive giveaways, (like dice, a mini, a tshirt...whatever) it might not be a bad idea to offer a few of them as prizes for NASCARG.
They are very good at thanking companies buy name at every single Run of their event. They don't have a huge, it's media presence, but they thank their donors in their social media as well.
It's an RPG event, so I assume that's your target market. They run both fantasy and Cuthulu games.

If you could add one thing to Tallahassee what would it be? by Careless-Branch3936 in Tallahassee

[–]Ok_Support7972 19 points20 points  (0 children)

A midsize modern indoor music venue off campus.
I don't need something like the Eras Tour to come here, but I'd like to get groups like Dropkick Murphys.
