Of course, I’m not saying that I would do such a thing… If you hit the s’mores early enough at Rush Creek Lodge, you’ll have time to drive over to sister property, Evergreen Lodge and check out their s’more party from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. Confession time, s’more fixings are offered nightly from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. Then s’mores move up the priority scale for me. Most times I would agree with that statement, unless the place you are staying at offers nightly s’mores. They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. My one complaint is that there were no robes in the hotel room, making my nightly dash to the pool a bit chilly in the winter.
