Growing up, we camped there often. I have been there a few times on day trips in the last few years. Marsye is right about how remote an area this is with no cell service. My sons have made several trips there with their friends and just camped where they could find a spot because, during the summer, it is hard to find a spot to rent. It is a beautiful area and a lot of families look forward to camping there every year. In a lot of the areas, there are steep mountains on both sides of the river, so anyone camped in these areas would have been literally trapped. We have climbed lots of these steep areas, but I couldn't even imagine trying to do something like that in the dark, with the rain pouring and water rising. This is truely a disaster and I pray that those still missing will be found safe.
