    I asked the cabin rental manager, and she kept saying "we are inside the Smokey Mountain National park". I guess that means they feel safe? Either that, or they don't want to refund our deposit. Either way, I guess we're going.

    Any concerns in your area? I know you live closer to the coast.

    I've heard a few K9 LEOs refer to those dogs as a "hairy missile". It's not a dog you want to run away from.

    Neat looking little bike. I was thinking about one for local, but KTM.
    I forgot to post KTM has enduros in the 250 to 500 range.

    That was me last year, but we sit on the aquifer and have a well pump. Still picked up some water to make the wife happy. I managed to get some storm shutters up before the in-laws arrived (long story, I wasn't happy to have company). We rode out the storm ok, lost a tree, tons of debris everywhere, yard went under water. Kicked out the in-laws the next day. Hope you don't have to go through anything like that. Stay safe.

    Normally the Saluda grade takes the brunt of the force and they don't make it over the mountain, at least very far. And much of the energy is dumped on the face which is why it looks so beat up headed up I-26.

    But they do occasionally make it over the Mountains in NC. In the late 90's one of the worst ones wiped out the bridge on the Davidson River going into the fish hatchery. The CCC rebuilt it and why it is now built strong enough to handle tanks, Federally over built would be an understatement.

    For the most part Bryson City should be safe, normally. Doesn't mean it won't still rain there though.

    I've always liked this video it is of the Saluda Grade, storms coming in from the coast don't zig and zag up the mountains but hit face on. But still get an idea. Unless they are tall enough they go over the top.
