The ambience may not be what one would expect for a biking or kayaking trip, but a casino, located in a depressed rural area as part of its economic development strategy, can be a good refuge. The rooms typically are magnificent and relatively inexpensive; the restaurants well-known midpriced chains, open all hours of the day and night. If you’re hot and wet, or cold and wet and hungry this casino is a place to find a warm and dry, or cool and dry bed and something to eat.
