The House above Heck Creek

The House above Heck Creek hasn’t been built yet.  We’re working on it. 

Years ago we had planned on moving out west--the Black Hills of South Dakota or maybe somewhere in Montana.  We made it as far west as Missouri.  Life happens and along the way the goal changed to simply moving back home to western North Carolina.  In October of 2010 we bought 40 acres or so of mostly wooded, steep to very steep land above Heck Creek in Madison County, NC.

Last summer we graded a driveway up to the house site and installed a septic system.  Maybe this year we can work on the house.

Meanwhile, Happy New Year from the Missouri Ozarks.
