A recent visit to Shenandoah NP in Virginia was a bust ! We had made campground reservations long before Hurricane Helena. When we arrived at the campground, there was concern with the Shenandoah River flooding and the campground may need to evacuate. Would have been nice if we had been made aware of this several days prior. It all worked out with another local campground found at higher elevation. We took a ride along Skyline Drive in hopes of catching a break in the foggy wet weather. It  was not meant to be on this trip. 

 Lessons Learned

I would recommend using a road atlas in conjunction with Google Maps, There were occasions when Google Maps routed  us through tight back roads which had me concerned pulling the camper.

-         I assumed the campground where we made reservations would have contacted us prior with evacuation concerns . I should have been more diligent with inquiring about any issues / concerns prior to the trip.
