The national weather service is predicting the river to rise to 12.6 ft Thursday night/ Friday morning. This will have no affect on the park nor is the park in any danger to flood. We did received rain on Tuesday. The park will most likely be wet and muddy, however that is perfect riding conditions! We look forward to seeing everyone for Memorial Day weekend!
Happy Mother's Day to all the beautiful, strong, loving women and the men who are both a mother and father! We hope you all have a wonderful day!
Chris Carroll has worked hard on the drag strip today! It has been groomed and is ready for riding!
The shower house is up and running with hot water! You are able to access the wash pit, however it is very slick mud. We are currently waiting on the power company to restore power in that area. Here are some updated pictures of the inside of the park.
Good morning. Busco WILL be open tomorrow. As of now we do not power in the C, D, and E sections; however, we have a call in to the power company to have them come out and flip it back on. We may have still have some equipment running tomorrow so please be respectful and careful of them. We will also be updating our phone system to reflect this and the phones will be turned back on tomorrow morning first thing. See you all soon!
Busco will remain closed Thursday due to bringing in dirt and running the equipment. We are hoping to reopen on Friday and will be posting an update on here as well as the phone system to announce the reopening date. See you all soon!
As of now we are trying to decide if we will open Thurs or Friday. We will be running all of our equipment tomorrow. By mid day tomorrow we should know which day the park will reopen. Updates will be posted here, on our phone system and the website! Thank you all again and we look forward to seeing you soon!
Also, we aware Falls of the Neuse Dam is beginning to release more water to alleviate water levels at the dam. As of now this is not anticipated to affect us. We will be monitoring this closely and keeping you updated. Hopefully by tomorrow we will have an opening date update for you all!
The water is receding quickly. We were able to get down to the B section this morning and everyone's decks, etc appear to be ok although it's still difficult to get a good look at sections C, D and E. Bryan Blvd is still impassable and we still do not know how much sand will need to be brought in to repair washouts. All of the campers stayed dry! We will continue to keep you all posted!
The river has receded about 8" here although the hydrograph doesn't show this. It is still predicted to crest at 24.4, but with how much it has changed thru all of this isn't a certainty. The park will still be closed thru at least Wed as when we can get in and begin assessing I know there will need to be dirt brought in to fill in wash outs before it will be safe for everyone. The campers stayed dry!!!! I will continue to keep you posted!
