Don't think there was any insurance for the bedding, most of his equipment will be good, it is mostly mechanical, not powered so will dry out and be all right with a little lubing, he just can't use it until the ground dries out enough to be able to use it. He has some low ground as most of interior Florida is and you can't farm mud, we will be good, farming is an addiction just like smoking and break away from. tonyg30 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Thanks for all the updates, everyone! BigTom, very sorry to hear about the damage to your crops, but glad to hear the power is back on. Best of luck with the clean up and getting things back up and running!

Sorry to hear about all the damage and loss. We lost an entire flock of chickens to a few racoons one night. They took out 75 chicks that were ready to start laying. We turned around and just bought more. I agree, it's an addiction. Thanks for the update. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Today the Disney site says this... Quote We anticipate that Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground will reopen later this week, but it remains closed at this time as we clean up the property following the storm. It does still say that they HDDR and BYBBQ are only closed through today. https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/hurricane-irma-info/?CMP=ILC-DPFY17Q4wo0907170913170020E Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great news. We are camped in the panhandle right now. Be there around noon. On 9/17/2017 at 7:16 PM, LONE-STAR said: We were there last year for the Hurricane it was no big deal they had us at POR. So I drove over from there. I actually got up and was there about about 30 minutes before they opened which I think was 8a.m.. I was 3rd in line but they had every lane open each lane was about 5 campers long they started check in about 10 minutes before they opened and by 8:10 I was on my way. It was one of the easiest check-ins ever. I had left my trailer over at POR so I went back to pick it up plus the family, had breakfast there and did a few things. We got back to the Fort about 10 a.m. and there was no line at the check in. Thank you for the reply. I have worried about traffic when they throw the gates open. Seems like they had everything under control. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Specularius 102 Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 I saw a picture of a Grand Design Imagine set up this morning in their site. Nothing looked out of the ordinary in the picture. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing looked out of the ordinary in the picture. I've read updates, from those set up, that it looks pretty much the same. No huge changes noted. Still waiting on an update regarding the road near the 600 loop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

djsamuel 322 Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Doesn't look bad. The campfire and movie area looks good. The food truck is not there. They are still cutting trees on the main road which is still closed. 500, and 300 loops are open as are 1400. 900 and 1000 are closed.

I saw photos of the food truck on various FW CM's Instagram accounts. They were using it to feed the cast working on the clean up. So, it's apparently fine and functional, but maybe not ready to be put back in service at the campfire. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djsamuel 322 Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 600 loop is also closed. The road is closed but it is now paved. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
