An Experience To Remember
















I received this email from Ann Marie Misko whose husband and children were stranded in the Woodland Park Association during the storm.

"Here is a photo of the the Misko children who were up at our cabin with their daddy JP Misko in Woodland Valley when the bridge washed away. With such an unfortunate event they made light of the situation and had a lifetime experience which I hear about every day, from the flood and the bridge to actually seeing the bear and coming across a pack of coyotes. They climbed, dug, bonded with the neighbors and roughed the night by fireplace. Our hearts go out to everyone who has any type of loss with Hurricane Irene. We can say we were fortunate to make it through safely with our lives and an experience to remember."

The photo above shows the Misko children standing on the temporary walking bridge over the Woodland Valley Stream in the Woodland Park Association. It was built after the storm by Ernie Persons so that people who own property in that part of the club could get to and from their property.
