Elkmont Evacuation

Some parts of the GSMNP for over 2 feet of snow and had snowdrifts that were over 4'. Probably a good thing that you evacuated.

That has happened to us a few times over the years for snow but not usually this early... A couple of times we had to evacuate due to flooding of the Little River... One year the flooding took out the whole roll next the river. Came back in a couple of days and found tents and all kinds of camping gear scattered down stream from ELKMONT...

Was out camping this past Friday and Saturday. Went to one of my favorite locations in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta and was told when I went to one of the lakes that they were shutting the road down for the season as a big storm was moving in, but would let me take one last drive.

A couple hours later at another part of the park a Warden came by and let me know that if I wanted to stay were I was that was fine but it may be a day or two before the plows got to me as a major storm was moving in. I was tempted to stay there but had some meetings on Monday that I need to be at.

Nice thing about having everything with you is that you can stay in a place for a few days without a problem.
