re: Best restaurants in Orlando. Something with a show or just fun for the family

Pirates Dinner Adventure was very good, as stated about Medieval Times, You have to buy into it, I was called onto the ship (stage) as a participant and i did the Captain Morgan Pose while on stage. A few people noticed because they stopped me after and mentioned it.

I've never done a supplemental oxygen jump, that had to be pretty cool! Did you just breathe Os in the plane or did you have to keep it on during the jump?
It was first load of the day (early-7am) and we were jumping from Cessna C208 Caravan, they promised extra altitude, we used a can of O2 on the way up then just jumped, about 90 seconds of freefall.

Hiking was Sperry Chalet West Glacier Montana 6,500'
I did fly to get to 18,500' but when we got to this altitude 8 of us jumped from the plane, so i have been at 18,500' in the open air with nothing around me but 7 other emotionally stable persons freefalling to earth.

Did you change your mind on staying in the city?
I saw your "Food and Drink" board request for where to eat in Fernandina-Amelia Island, figured you may be staying in Fernandina now.

Why? Down town? Nothing really to do with kids unless there is a ball game or concert and really not walkable from the hotels to the venues.
I see a cross country event around Oct. 31, if you are doing this one then our zoo has a well put together Halloween event that is fun for everyone.
Go Karts-Autobahn indoor karting.
Fly Away Indoor Skydiving
Topgolf ??
Callahan Fair Oct. 9-19.

Do you have hotel preference-rewards, Beach area is good along with airport area, plenty of food options around here depending on what you prefer.
I'm in Fernandina area and it's an easy drive to the ball games. Pretty sure I will be there if I can get tickets.

re: has anyone here ever hand-crank started a car?
Posted by LSU Fallguy on 8/4/25 at 12:13 pm to The Torch
Dad had restored a 1930 Model A 2 door sedan, it had an electric starter but also the hand crank in the front under the radiator. the hand crank was slotted so it grabbed in the direction for cranking but would slip/release when it started so not to keep the handle spinning. The neighbor had a Model A coupe with the rumble seat, we got to ride in parades all the time.
As a kids we had a blast, fun times back in the late 70's early 80s.

re: Glacier National Park gear
Posted by LSU Fallguy on 5/27/25 at 11:06 am to tigertail34
We went a few years back (June) and stayed in Hungry Horse for 7 nights in a cabin, first day we hiked Gunsight Pass trail from Lake McDonald Lodge to Sperry Chalet and got into knee deep snow just before Sprague Creek. We did not have snow shoes so we turned around and found a clear area for lunch, we headed back down after our break and headed back to the lodge for warm drinks. We did have zip off leg style like cgrand mentioned and recommended, I lightweight jacket that is waterproof as we got rain, sleet and snow on this hike (12 miles round trip), bears are coming out from hibernation so if you think bear spray will make you feel better then get some.
Polebridge is interesting as only solar power and relaxing, we picked up a hiker that had been on the trails for a month and heading there for mail and short stay at the hostel before taking off again.
Going to the Sun Road will probably still be closed just north of Lake McDonald lodge.
We did go to Watertoon Canada for the day.

While it may just be BBQ we stop in at Bubba's BBQ every time we are in Jackson Hole, Hard to beat the amount of great food either at Breakfast or Lunch.

re: Amelia Island, Florida - Any Info?
Posted by LSU Fallguy on 10/31/24 at 3:54 pm to 3BlockUber
We live just of the island, so my 2 cents ($350 OT ) we do have a nice Fort Clinch, nice drive into it under canopy oak trees, you have beach access to the Atlantic on the right side and the Fort overlooks the St. Mary River/Sound with Cumberland Island across.
Center Street is a nice laid back area with a lot of tourist shops, restaurants, Gregor McGregor's Mini Links putt putt serves food and drinks, Duck Pinz bowling ( 4 lanes, balls slightly larger than crocket) serves drinks, kayaking available in the river, and creeks, boat tours inshore and offshore. Rent golf carts, scooters to ride around town. Hampton inn downtown just off Center St.
If I can provide any more info let me know.

We are North of Jacksonville and currently have no concern as it seems to be taking the I-4 Route across. We have had an influx of traffic evacuating.

If you order a Guinness anywhere please don't touch the glass until it has settled, you will see it. We met some locals that we hung out with for a few days hitting some local Pubs, they said sure fire way to identify tourist is when they grab the glass right when the bartender sets it down.
Also the accent gives us away as well. :cheers:
