Imperial Buffet(just found out new owners Used to be called the King House)-a Chinese Buffet
The cooks are chinese so it is real stuff. I think it is still the same people just another name on the license. Wide variety of chinese foods and a salad bar with fruit and cake if you are not into chinese.

Favorite Dish: almost every thing. Egg Rolls Sweet & sour chicken,Lo Mein, Mushrooms.

NIGHTS ARE CHILLY!

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: GOOD WALKING BOOTS IF YOU'RE PLANNING A HIKE....ALWAYS TAKE ALONG A JACKET, LIKE A HOODED SWEATSHIRT BECAUSE THE NIGHTS ARE USUALLY CHILLY. ALSO HELPS TO KEEP SKEETERS AT BAY!

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: THERE ARE LOTSA CHAIN STORES AND WALMART'S OPEN 24/7 SO YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH FIND WHAT YOU NEED. PHARMACIES ARE OPEN TIL 9 P.M. AT SHOPKO AND A FEW OTHER SPOTS.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: IT SEEMS TO BE PRETTY TOUGH TO FIND COOL SWIMWEAR HERE SO BRING YOUR OWN.
