The rest of our group from Cincy made it in around 5pm yesterday. We followed Emily's directions, and made it without any hiccups. I don't think we'll be able to afford to try again this season, but next year it's on our to-do list again.

After the flooding on Saturday I called Mike freeman on Sunday morning. I spoke to him personally, Because he is a fellow knight. He then had my group stop by to see him and recieved a grand tour of the Castle. We finally made it back to Dayton Ohio about 8:30 pm and are still trying to clean up and dry out all thew garb

Sir S. I am glad that you finally caught up with Mike.  I told him that you were looking to get with him.

We made it back to Indiana Sunday afternoon. Got lucky and got through Nashville just before all the roads where getting shut down... I will come back again next year though. I only got a chance to see about 1/3 of the faire before it was shut down... Im glad all are  OK, my helm goes off to the cast that stood and sang as well were rounded up and escorted out of the faire. You all are real troopers!!  ;)

All is well over here with my folks and I. I was planning to come down to the festival this past weekend, but decided not to chance it with the rain. Any word on if there will be faire this weekend?

Faire is planned for this weekend. There was not much damage to the site.

I feel for ALL of you, how horrible.  While i'm dry here in Ohio, my other half is down there performing (y'all know him as Axel the Sot).  I can give you a bit of an update regarding the I-24 Campground......the primative/tent area got hit badly, there was some damages to vehicles, but some areas were spared, Scott  indicated tonight when he called it's drying out more.  Sounds like the Nashville area got hit the worst.   
Mrs. Sot *LOL*  That there's funny.....I don't care who you are!!!!

Downtown Nashville was hit pretty bad. Clarksville, about an hour north was also hit real bad.

Driving through downtown this evening, things are still flooded. They were expecting the Cumberland in Nashville to get below flood stage this evening but it's looking like tomorrow sometime or Friday. A day or so later for Clarksville since it's downriver

How are the major roadways?  I'm leaving tomorrow morning to come down to faire this weekend.  Can I get through Nashville and down I-24 to Murfreesoboro or should I look for an alternate route?

Thinking of you all.  I am from Hendersonville and have family in Lebanon.  Seeing the pics give me goosebumps.  I hate to see my hometown going through this.  My grandfather used to perform at the Opry and I feel like a part of my family's history is under water right now.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. *hugs*

The Tennessee DOT web page has a nice map showing the flooded roads. I'm driving down Friday from Lancaster, Kentucky and the major highways look ok, though some of the roads they go over show flooded, but the messages say they should be cleared by this afternoon. Shouldn't affect you too much except maybe the extra traffic going around the impasssable roads nearby. Here is the page: http://ww2.tdot.state.tn.us/tsw/smartmap.htm
I clicked "change profile" but it still looks as bad as it did before! Please fix!

Quiet One.  I look forward to meeting you this weekend.   We are formerly from Ohio and used to visit GLMF which I know you frequent and have posted lots of great pictures.   Will you be ther on Sunday? Please look for my daughter Sarah and I.  She in orange stripe and I in green.

I heard they were all open as of this morning.

Thanks Sigundo and Capt Faye for the road info.  It's good to know that at the end a a long trip I won't have to make it a longer trip with detours.

Amy I will be there both Sat & Sun.  I look forward to meeting you.
