Sweetwater Cabin

04/11/2024

Please spread the word...Parts of WNC are open and need visitors!! Lenoir, Boone and Blowing rock now welcome visitors with open arms. Many are asking how they can help the recovery efforts: Plan your stay and patronize the local businesses. Fall is usually high season for the area. Local buisnesses, restaurants, etc. need customers!!

UPDATE 🚨 The Blue Ridge Parkway is now open from milepost 285.5, at Bamboo Gap, to milepost 305, near Beacon Heights, in the Blowing Rock, North Carolina area.
Park visitors are also urged to use extra caution when visiting the Parkway areas that are open. Visitors should anticipate closed facilities and trails in this approximately 20-mile section of the park and follow directions on local signage regarding facility or trail closures. Commercial vehicles are prohibited.

This is the first section of roadway to open in North Carolina since Hurricane Helene.
Opening this section of the park provides improved transportation links while communities address ongoing storm recovery on other local routes.

Visitors should be aware that trail assessments have not been completed and caution should be exercised when hiking. Visitors may encounter hazards on trails such as landslides, tree debris, and washed-out sections or bridges. For safety reasons, the park asks that people continue to be patient and respect remaining closures.

Thank you to everyone that has reached out to us with prayers for Sweetwater and the rest of WNC and SE TN. We are blessed as our beautiful cabin was spared and will be ready for making memories again soon. The landscape has been changed, but the beauty and tranquility will be back, just different.

Please continue to pray and send whatever support you can for all of those that were devastated by this unprecedented natural disaster.

This critter decided to join us for some relaxation on the front porch. Today we also saw ground hogs, turkey, cardinals and butterflies...All to the music of our babbling creek.
