  1. 3 days in Greensboro.
  2. I feel badly for her. Her tremendous grief is very clearly not allowing her to think rationally on the matter. This is why so many people are quiet about this. The better to be quiet than remove all doubt principle. This poor woman is clearly not thinking straight. In time, she’ll learn to regret feeling this way. Her husband already does feel that way, I would pay money on that. Funny thing about gross negligence, intent does not fucking matter. Eastlands absolutely at fault.
  3. Where is this quote? I clicked on the pic and it wasn’t a link. And in no way am I doubting you. Rather I like collecting dumbass cult camp moms quotes and circulating them to our dumbass cult camp mom friends that for some crazy reason advocate the reopening of an Eastland-owned Mystic as if that is even a realistic possibility. The amount of crazy comments I’ve heard in the last two weeks from otherwise smart people is staggering.
  4. I believe someone posted CLJ was gonna be down for a few years. Maybe I dreamed that. I got this:
  5. They’ve been getting grief about that forever. They have basically window units. Ozark is a good option if you’re in DFW. Of course Longhorn. These camps are gonna do something for the displaced Mystic girls, I would suspect. Waldemar has more land than Mystic and has never sought to expand operations (300 versus 700 girls and I think only 2 terms versus 3). The Elmores don’t need the money. Maybe they will feel differently now, I don’t know. There could be displacement while other camps identify land to develop accommodations for more girls. My wife and I got into a little spat because I want a detailed plan before my oldest goes back to be a counselor in training and my youngest has 4 more summers. And they did everything right. I’ve never once thought about the flooding of the Guad being down there the last 9 summers. Now I’m scared to death of them going again.
  6. Try Waldemar if you can get in. There’s a waitlist longer than Mystic. Here’s a pic with waterline on trees opposite camp:
  7. Too many others will vilify those that try and start it up again. It will never be on that land, and never involve Eastlands. I mean they could retain the name but is it really Mystic?
  8. My wife has the same disdain, but an inability to apply that disdain to logic. We are in a nightly argument about Mystic’s survival chances. I say zero, she says they’ll come back. She is slowly coming to my side as her dumbass friends slowly come around.
  9. @C-Manare you friends with Bonners or Pecks? I cannot remember. They both went to elementary where my kids went and I know Blake. I didn’t attend that funeral but hear the Bonners were very explicit on zero mention of mystic during the service.
  10. Not a troll and I did not miss the point. I simply quoted a post where the word choice was deplorable. Never let a crisis go to waste I guess. And that post was in response to the terrible defense of the indefensible doctor and making it about that poster yet again. Y’all are pathetic miserable people.
  11. We usually stay at Stablewood for camp pickup. House we stayed in for her hilltopper year a few weekends ago was across 39 and elevated, right after Guad converged. Last night we were there, my oldest stayed with her counselor and other camp friends in a house on the Guad side on south fork between CLJ and Hunt Store. We both would have been screwed, especially her. I’ve got 4 more years of this. I’ll never not stay at Stablewood again.
  12. No I’m not. You’re attacking for no reason. You’re hanging onto 2 pieces of my post that otherwise should’ve been viewed as informative. Those 2 specific comments were written with the intent of seeing if others are hearing the same things. For example, others may know the story about Stacy leaving Mystic.
  13. I expect you to type longer responses.
  14. No, I won’t. Lawsuits are a given. I wrote what I wrote because I have heard directly affected families openly talk about them and it’s surprising. I won’t post until I see a filing.
  15. Here are some things I’ve learned in the last week: - my daughter’s friend, and I’m close with her parents, evacuated to Rec Center 2nd floor. Once apparently safe, a counselor told the girls to say their last prayers. This caused girls to throw up and pee themselves. - our good friends’ daughter was saved by eastland and his pickup just before he took his last fateful run. Mom is super thankful and had a direct relationship with Dick including directly texting him. Dad is thankful but pissed. Seems similar to dynamic I’ve seen with a lot of couples. - Waldemar evacuated Happy Haven 1 and 2, the only buildings with campers anywhere close to Guadalupe, right after the first warning at about 1:25. Jeanne Stacy is the camp director there and personally got the girls, along with help from seasonal Mexican hires that apparently were awesome for them. Happy Havens got only 3 feet of water. Rest of Waldemar unharmed. Waldemar’s seasonal help grabbed all kayaks from riverbank. Stacy married into Eastland family, y’all need to look into her and why she left Mystic. I’ve heard stories why, and my experience with her has been nothing but great. - the house we were staying at 5 days before July 4th was about 10 houses away from the house in the Texas Monthly story. It got 4 feet of water. The owner had several homes behind it and told me he gave those up to first responders. A lot more rumors about lawsuits and anecdotes that I can’t verify and won’t post about.
  16. Waldemar is $8500 for 4 weeks. Mystic is similar.
  17. I didn’t lie. Like Cord, he misrepresented his involvement. I’m not spreading disinformation any moreso than people linking Chronicle, Kerrville paper and I saw the NY Post report on it.
  18. No I havent at all. But whatever man. I’ve been crucified here since I joined to ask the Iowa St guys a question about their QB. I’ve got a vested interest in this area and have been directly affected by the flood more than you fucking know, wanted information, and I posted 2 things that were incorrect amongst 10 other correct things I brought to the thread before they were here.
  19. What I heard, and this buddy is profusely apologizing to our text group, as is Cord.
  20. Well, he’ll get absolutely roasted if it’s just hearsay being passed off as directly-involved rescue efforts.
  21. And he’s getting questioned by it on FB. I know him and would be surprised if he’s making that up. But I heard from 2 sources on the ground with no reference to his video. Still weird that Roy would say that and it’s not being more widely reported.
  22. In addition to the report here, I heard from another who was involved in the rescue. Also watched this video, from this morning. I fear echo chambers but there are major outlets, not just Kerrville rag, reporting this. I can’t embed video. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16vA2fX2me/?mibextid=KsPBc6
  23. It’s been confirmed by several local responders and many media outlets. I don’t know why Roy is saying this. @Homesickhorntold the thread about it from a guy apparently on the ground.
