The road thaws out enough to become passable, the pipes are no longer frozen, and we take the opportunity to stock up on some critical items.

Twelve weeks after Hurricane Helene tore up our mountain, we continue to make progress with the cleanup. This time, we tackle the landslide.

Hundreds of fallen trees litter our land, making parts of the mountain impassible. We got some help removing some of the trees that blocked our access road.

Snow and cold weather sweeps across the Unite States and not everyone is prepared. Plus updates on Hurricane Helene damage and FEMA claims.
