Dear Marty & Sue,
Many thanks for the very relaxing and memorable stay at Shing Wako. From the comforts of cabin 10 to the fun whizzing around Lake Edward to our long hike to the delicious veggies from Borden Farm to the very enjoyable fire pit, we couldn’t have asked for more… oh and I forgot the friendly neighbors who shared their yummy freshly caught & fried sunnies & crappies with us!!! We ran out of time to play horseshoes so we gotta come back soon!

Hi Marty & Sue, Here are some ideas that we enjoy doing while staying at your resort.

Geocaching at - We use http://www.geocaching.com/ to find places where families or individuals have hidden caches. There are caches all around Shing Wako. If you put in your zip code on the geocaching.com website, you’ll get lots of geocaching sites where a cache is hidden.

Constellations/Meteoroid showers: We use this website: http://www.nightskyinfo.com/. I really love the finder map links on the page. Click the link and the diagram that pops up will tell you exactly what to look for in the sky at a particular time. Another great site is  www.earthsky.org . Meteor shower summary's are located here: http://www.earthsky.org/article/earthskys-meteor-shower-guide#c011212. We usually watch the Perseid meteor shower when we visit Shing Wako in August.

It’s worth pointing out that Shing Wako is far enough away from the city lights to make night sky and star watching really, really great even for amateurs like us. I think the girls have counted hundreds of shooting stars on one night in August 2008.

A great big thank you for a wonderful week vacation at the Shing Wako Resort. We had a fantastic time and made many family memories. As I said before, our cabin and experience far exceeded our expectations. Should we ever find ourselves planning a vacation in northern Minnesota, it will definitely include the Shing Wako Resort. Thanks again!
