I have reservations at John Pennekamp for next April. Hopefully by then the park will be open, I would love to add some $$$ to the local economy to help them out. Luckily where I live in Estero we only had minor structural damage with some flooding and a lot of downed trees and limbs. I think the snowbirds that head down for the winter might want to start getting some other plans in place.

We are leaving tomorrow to head down to our one year old forty foot travel trailer that is in Key Largo to salvage what we can.
I have already been told that there is no external damage thanks to my hurricane tie downs, but I am assuming that it is totaled since the ocean surge went right through it.
Our "tupper ware" dock box with a brand new washer and dryer which was behind it blew right over. That also had hurricane tie downs and they were pulled right out of the ground. I can only guess what the wind force was that did that.
Our brand new 4' x 6' porch and steps all made out of 2" x 6"s which had six 4" x4" legs in concrete deck blocks is about a hundred yards away. It is completely intact. Visualize what the surge current must have been like.
I'll need some sort of front end loader to get that back to our place.

This is aerial photos post Irma. Bahia Honda looks really bad, but most of the structures appear to remain intact. Nature center is missing part of roof/shingles. There's one lone camper in Buttonwood campground. Hopefully they can get it cleaned up soon. Also, praying the folks that live in Keys can get their lives back in order.

I think if I was NCwriter, I would leave my plans alone for now but would be making other plans and reservations elsewhere in the meantime, just in case. I would bet State Park cleanup / reopening and other recreational amenities are low on the State of Florida's pecking order.

I'd be surprised if the Keys don't vanish....
Hurricane Andrew crossed the Keys with 130 MPH winds in 1992. The Keys will survive Irma as well. Not all of the buildings and trees of course, but the Key aren't going anywhere.
