Yes, a mule train took supplies and first responders up into the mountains where vehicles could not go following Hurricane Helene.

 News from my home county:

More from Buncombe County some of the results of Hurricane Helene:

Sign from the Flowering Bridge at Lake Lure lies on the ground.

The old bridge survived, but the gardens were washed away by the flood and the debris.

Here's a post about the Flowering bridge from a few years ago.

Life will not be stopped by a flood. Here are flowers coming out of the mud.

Another flower from a plant that was underwater for a while.

Chimney Rock and fun clouds

  

This view, with a mickey mouse kind of cloud, shows Chimney Rock up on the top of those bluffs. It really is in front of them with a US flag on top of it, so it isn't showing in this view.

Looking the other direction are the bluffs on the other side of the valley through which the Broad River flows into Lake Lure. 

This is the marina, and somewhere over to the left are pontoon boats that take tours around the lake. I might do that, if the price is right.

Entrance gate to Chimney Rock

If the elevator is running, I might go up to the lookout...or maybe not. Depends on the price of tickets!

I may have showed you this little beach last week, on Lake Lure.
