Such a tragedy! I feel so bad about for those families... Did you take these photos?

I didn't take the pictures. I took them from Facebook, friends and some from net work coverage.
This is one of my favorite camping places. We spent many wonderful vacations up there. I knew it often flooded but nothing like this. It will take a great deal of work to get it back to normal.
Hope you are having a great summer.
I cannot imagine the aftermath. So sad... I am having a great summer. I need to update my blog! We have been busy doing stuff and A LOT of nothing! :)
