This year's summer vacation took us road tripping to Lake Lure, North Carolina. Hurricane Debbie had just left Florida and was slowly heading to South Carolina as we left on our trip. In fact, the storm was so slow that we caught up with it in South Carolina, and then it reached us again the next day at Lake Lure! Never before did we experience one storm in three different states!
We got to enjoy the mountains and Lake Lure, nature at its finest!
The reports, pictures and videos of Lake Lure and the surrounding areas devastated by hurricane Helene are unimaginable and heart breaking. The people we encountered were pleasant, upbeat and also hard working. With their resilience and strength, they will rebuild and we hope to one day return again!

Approaching the marina, a beautiful evening stroll.
|
 |
The marina was well taken care of. Boat rides were booked days in advance, so we didn't get to go on any rides. If planning on a lake ride, it would need to be booked as soon as arriving in the area, especially for a short stay like we had.
