in a word: Helene. The camping field got stricken with about 6 inches of silt. In late October, it was planted with winter wheat to stabilize it. The crop is doing fine, but the ground is not stable enough for trailers until a degree of ‘turf’ is in place. Biltmore Equestrian Center planted fescue in early March; then crabgrass in late May; and will plant more fescue in mid-August. By September, we anticipate a degree of turf will make the campground and trot out area adequately stable.
Incidentally, for those of you who have been here before, the water from the French Broad River reached up to the roof of the ‘event barn’ and ripped it off, and left a tree that had floated down river on top. All fencing along the River was stripped away. Trailers that were ‘up’ by the event tent (thought to be above the 100 year flood level) were washed down River and overturned in various drainages or swept to Tennessee. The outdoor arena (night lights and night time trot outs) was destroyed. Much basic clean up has been done, but the re-building is going to take awhile.
