Troublesome Gap Camping And Overlanding

We had the privilege of going to help with the recovery for a few days. The damage is hard to describe. One of the major problems is that the power and data infrastructure can’t be repair because major swathes of power lines and power poles are just gone. Power poles snaped in half. Cars wrapped around trees. We were working in an area where power may not be restored for 6-9 months. Thanks so much for everyone in our crew and the many people coming to help out and sending supplies. Here are some pictures

No Campsite Damage

Surprisingly there was no damage to the campsite, so we are ready for you to come join us

The damage in WNC is horrible. We have family we can’t contact. If you need to check on family, here is a tool that allows you to see which roads are blocked.

You can also use google maps to select a route. The DriveNC site is more pessimistic than the google maps. When I trying to work out a route to check on family that we can’t reach. The DriveNC site shows roads blocked that google maps doesn’t. The damage up there was horrible. Carefully consider the situation before travelling to the area.

Campsite Reopening

We are planning to work on the campsite on the weekend of

If you have ever wondered what goes into building a campsite, here are some videos that show part of the process

Pictures from our wonderful trip on October. A great weekend with friends and family!

Every year the bees make the trek up to the mountains where they spend a little over a month at Troublesome Gap. We have a campsite on Troublesome Gap. It is a remote area and the bees have access to sourwood and locust flowers. This gives the honey a unique flavor and color that varies each year depending on how soon or late the different trees and bushes bloom.

The honey has a crisp color and flavor. If you have camped on Troublesome Gap, adding a jar of honey to your pantry is a good way to bring home some of the uniqueness of Troublesome Gap and enjoy it all year.
