I don't know how to get the word out besides putting it here....but Boone got absolutely hammered by hurricane Helene.  Some areas got 30 inches of rain!  Not sure exactly what Boone got but the pictures show Macadoo with water so the street must have been flooded pretty deep.  I e-mailed the KOA with concerns about their impact and hopes for their safety.  Pictures of the surrounding area show rather massive road destruction in areas like Banner Elk and other frequent riding roads that we take.  We have some folks in the areas affected by Helene here's hoping they got through it OK.

Just received a reply from Kristina at the Boone KOA.  They apparently got through with minor damage.  They have power but no water.  The area however is devistated with homes just gone, either exploded, burnt or washed away.  Many roads are impassable and some folks are just stuck where they are.  Any help you can give, Red Cross or other way I'm sure will be appreciated.

It won't be the same this year without Garry.  Gary Horton passed on Christmas day

Need to bring some 'shine to the campfire and raise a toast in his memory.  You know we got away with a fair amount of shenanigans cause Gary gave us a pass.  Remember when we were shooting potatoes at Joann's house and Gary got the assignment?

Miss JoAnn let us get away with a lot of stuff in the early years because we were her only customers.  We've evolved a little  :yes:

Just a note to suggest or confirm the dates for the Boone rally in May.  It's either the weekend of 17/18 or 24/25.  It looks like the second option would run over Memorial day weekend on the 26th.

Hello all.
I'm gonna try to make the spring rally this year.
Does anyone have a cabin booked they'd want to share?
Cheers.
