WV storm damage....Pinnacle Creek
Donation protected
Early this afternoon a violent windstorm/tornado slammed into the Pinnacle Creek Campground just outside the small town of Crumpler WV, This area of WV has suffered for years from mine closures and was just beginning to make a comeback as a popular ATV/UTV riding destination. The campground is conveniently located on both the Hatfield McCoy and Outlaw trail systems. Due to the inclement winter weather and limited road systems, they have a season limited to Spring to Fall. This disaster hit just as they were preparing to open for the 2017 season.
Significant damage has been done to the rental campers, the administration building/store as well as the restaurant (Angel's Diner) on site. The folks who run the campground and the diner are in need of supplies and assistance in getting the property back in order. These are NOT the usual well heeled business folks waiting on their insurance teams to swarm in and assist. They are great people and good friends to the many riders who stay and travel through the area. A group of us are planning to make a trip up this weekend with supplies and donations from the Charlotte area, but we could certainly take much more than what we can gather. Please assist us in helping this area so that the fine people their can continue their livlihood.
