Hurricane Helene

[GlampDaddy]

@Notsotalltexan - the park is fine, with no damage from the storm. Jim couldn't get back to you yesterday, but I saw him late last night and he says he will give you a call today. No problems with your reservation. Enjoy your stay!

GlampDady,
We just closed on a cabin in Franklin NC on Thumpers Trail.

@Buly Pics or it didn’t happen.

Glad to hear our RV friends seemed to have weathered Hurricane Helene without major damage. And, happy to hear that Deer Springs appears to have escaped damage as well. LadyDi and I have been keeping folks out East in our prayers. We will continue to do so.

We recently sold the Mountain Aire and are in the final stage of selling our home up north, having relocated closer to family just south of Tacoma, WA. That said, we do miss the friends we made during our travels and at our place in Polson, MT.

Best regards to all and please stay safe.

We think of you often, and are so glad you chimed in on the forum!

X2 for this. I never spend time on this forum without thinking of you or running across one of your threads/posts. We lost a great member when you moved on. Best in the future my friend.

Thank you, Jim. The one thing that we—regretfully—left undone when we hung up the RV keys was visiting Deer Springs. It would have been the honor of a lifetime for LadyDi and I to have raised a glass of good, Basque wine with you and Trish. Ours is the loss.

Blessings to you and Trish—and, of course, Ryker.

Thanks. We remember fondly our time with you in Polson, and enjoying (?) that fine pizza with a Hawaiian fruit on it that was provided by you-know-who.

Best regards.

@Jim I’m so glad to see you posting from what I see on the map you are not too far from total destruction.

I am speechless on what I see on the news. God bless all that were affected by this awful storm.

Yes, it's really bad. Almost beyond belief. Over 60 bodies recovered from Garren Creek in Fairview.

Oh that’s awful. It seems surreal

And no one's asking about members in TN and NC. Do we know anyone there?

I wonder what we can learn from this? I would imagine I'd just want to hole up at home. But at some point the decision to evacuate has to become a reality. I can't blame anyone as meteorologists are weather guessers but I imagine someone missed the boat (no pun intended) on ordering an evacuation. I imagine NC, like here in VA, is not well rehearsed for such a thing. Both states have had them pretty bad but I don't think we're really as prepared for orders as such etc. as those in the south are accustomed to.

I would imagine RVers also would really hesitate in bugging out. I wonder how many did not. I think we can all learn from this that regardless of deposits or plans, we have to make the tough decision to find safer grounds, campground or not.

I don't know if any learning curve would help! I have a friend that has premonitions, she begged me to move from quartzite over the last week. Short of the mountains there is no place to go any safer with the locations she mentioned!

Because of the situation presented about the Colorado River, and looking at and calculations, I am where I need to be!

Like I said! You can know, and still wonder what will come of it!!!

I’m in south central Tn. We received a little heavy rain and light wind. We’ve had worse. North Eastern Tn. Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg were hit pretty good with flooding.
