FLOOD VICTIMS CAN CAMP

SIOUXLAND---SOME SIOUXLAND RESIDENTS WHO ARE BEING EVACUATED DUE TO POTENTIAL FLOODING WILL BE ABLE TO CAMP AT A PLYMOUTH COUNTY CONSERVATION BOARD FACILITY NEAR HINTON.

CONSERVATION BOARD DIRECTOR DENNIS SOHL SAYS EXTENDED STAY CAMPING PRIVELEGES ARE BEING AUTHORIZED FOR ANYONE EVACUATED FROM FLOOD AREAS LIKE THE DAKOTA DUNES.

WHEN CAMPERS REGISTER FOR CAMPING AT HILLVIEW RECREATION AREA, WEST OF HINTON, THEIR ADDRESS WILL BE USED TO DETERMINE THEIR ELIGIBILITY TO CAMP.

SOHL SAYS THIS IS ONE WAY THAT THE STRESS OF RELOCATION CAN BE EASED FOR RESIDENTS SINCE THE HILLVIEW CAMPGROUNDS ARE CONVENIENTLY LOCATED FOR A COMMUTE TO SIOUX CITY FOR WORK.
