Obviously this is a very dynamic and changing situation. Shortly after posting that, following the meeting, we were given a mandatory evacuation to leave today, which meant by 5:00 p.m. when the Park closed. Storing everything away inside and outside took some time as I wanted to be careful, so I pulled out about 3:00 p.m.. it’s a long and tedious drive because 75 miles are on two lane- no shoulder roads until you are quite a bit onto the…

I managed to make it around all the big cities without…

Thanks to my son, Mathew, I am now ready and able to do this! (He actually had it ready 3 years ago, it took me this long to take the time to actually do it!) I am fortunate in that my family and…
