Mainland Trip - Johnny Sack's Cabin and Rafting

The next day we stopped and visited Johnny Sack's cabin, located near Big Springs.  The 4 ft. 11 in. man took three years to build this cabin, starting in 1929.  It was super cute and cozy inside, built on an ideal spot.  The water was crystal clear, it looked so refreshing and drinkable.  We spent some time hanging around the icy water and walking the grounds.

Betsy braved the icy cold water!

We then rented some rafts and tubes and floated down the river for a few hours.  I vaguely remember this float trip because Betsy was in dire need of a nap and she was refusing to fall asleep in my arms, therefore it wasn't really a peaceful float down the river for me, and those sitting around us.  After about an hour of rage, she finally gave in and fell asleep in my arms.  But that only lasted maybe 30 minutes, enough to get her through the rest of the float, allowing me to enjoy myself a little.  It ended up being a fun and beautiful ride!

I'm sorry about Betsy's hate of the float trip, but she is super cute, so it's all good, right?
