So the first day of fall has come in as if it were summer. Dontcha just know there will be good cold snap soon enough, reminding us that winter is not too far away. Because I will be keeping an extremely and updated eye on our winter weather situations ahead, I wanted to know where the key elevations were within Apple Creek Acres. With winter storms I can pick apart the timing of 'freezing levels', critical for road conditions. Thought you'd like to know what I dug up....

2885' Entrance elevation
3000' Just below Chris Martin's house
3300' Just above the "Blue Roof" house
3500' Just above the last hairpin curve
(below mirror)
3630' Entrance to Staymon Road
3900' the gate at the end of Apple Creek Road
(by the way, when the signs say 'No Turn-Around',
they ain't jokin'!!!) Also the same elevation
as the end of Tanneyhill Lane
Couldn't 'bear' not to show this creative driveway entrance!
If you want to explore a really neat website, check out this link:
It's a fairly intuitive database in which you can find out amazing amounts of information The maps allow you to turn on-off layers like topo lines, satellite imagery, roads, sewers, and so much more...a powerful database, it is
All the news I have for now. Enjoy the warmth while we have it!
This is great Bob! Thank you for the interesting info. When it comes to the heavy winter weather, the Apple Creek community members are certainly "in this all together."

We most definitely ARE all in it together...the more info we know and can all share, the better experience we'll have in our little slice of heaven. Getting snowed in for 6 days last December was enough for me...and the dogs did NOT care for mixed vegetables for their dinner by that 6th day! HA!
