APPLE CREEK ROAD UPDATE

Watering hole on Hall Top

Electricity may be out all week, so says Duke Energy.  No power means no water, so if you're looking to fill jugs/containers, there is a long-standing free spring water fill up on the right soon after you head down and turn right onto Hall Top.  Or hit up a neighbor with a generator. Or simply stay with friends somewhere else.  I'm just full of good ideas...

Apple Creek Road itself is now PASSABLE to the top, thanks to efforts by some residents to clear a path through some huge mudslides.  Tannehill is still not passable, though, best I can tell.  

The downed tree and power lines at the lower hairpin have been cleared to the sides. Noteworthy is the debris slump on the downhill side of the upper hairpin curve that cut right to the edge of the pavement, a particulary major concern for the future.

So thanks to everyone that helped in the clearing.  I'm updating from my cell phone, so keeping this short (a relative term...).
