  Speaker 2: nighttime attraction. It's an enchanted night walk through a canyon
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: of wonders. It's our takline for it. So we made

• 1:22
  Speaker 2: our property. There's a beautiful natural canyon kind of the
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: famous Dells, the Sandstone, and we made a trail through

  Speaker 2: hotel guests, general public where it's a state of the

• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the wintertime when we get some snow, it's going to
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: really make the lights and lasers and everything kind of
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: shine a little a little more. We've we've visited uh
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: A lumni experience in Whistler in Canada in the in

  Speaker 1: places to stay and Brandon I've got to ask, I've
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: never stayed in one. Are the treehouse cabins. I've never
• 3:42

• 4:02
  Speaker 3: tucked right into kind of the backside of one of
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: the golf holes on our wilderness with short course and
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: just a great view. There's even a putting green upside
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: the units for golfers and anyone who might have a
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: putter along with them to just kind of hang out
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: in that space and enjoy.
• 4:18

• 4:18
  Speaker 1: One of the things I really, I really appreciate about
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: wilderness is the year round activities. There is obviously, I
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: think summertime in the dells of course, and we talked
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: about the outdoor water parks and the golf and other things,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: but even in the in the winter months, and again
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: we go in the winter typically and on those those
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: cool cold night snow coming down the resorts, the cabins,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: they're all built so cool, so like get like outdoor
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: fireplaces and just really comfortable things. You guys do a
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: really nice job on that. And I'm guessing that that's
• 4:48

• 4:50
  Speaker 1: new new attraction coming with this aquavill Alumina, A big
• 4:54
