Amazing time in North Central NE with family

Enjoyed a nice family weekend. Started our first day and morning off with some delicious coffee at Ortello Dale. Recommend the vanilla green tea machta. Calamus tanking was a nice leisurely activity with family. Staff was friendly and the scenery around the water was pretty. Unfortunately the FIron unfortunately was closed when we went through the next day. Bloomin Daisies had many neat items to choose from and some yummy jam and caramels. Very friendly staff. Tipsy Pine Pizza was absolutely delishious and had great staff. To conclude our trip, we spent 5 hours in Long Pine with the Cowboy Trail Cache search (was a little challenging for us), checking out the tallest bridge in NE, spending time at the SRA getting into the clear, refreshing creek, and then hunkered down for awhile having pizza during the storm. Would liked to have floated the creek, but the weather just didn't cooperate. Was a great time with family and seeing the beautiful country sites in the area.
