Whispering Creek Updates - July, 2011
 

General Update Photos -
Greetings Reggie,

Just wanted to throw you an update.  Drove through the community the other day and got a few photos to show you how it looks.  It's looking rough, but the main concern is the Culdesac that is getting closer to simply collapsing.

Jack or someone is doing a pretty fair job with entry upkeep (above), but then it starts going downhill pretty fast.
Don't know if you have Kudzu out where you live, but the stuff grows about 100 feet a year.  If not stopped, it will totally and almost irreversibly cover all of Whispering Creek within a year.  Below is the Cul-de-Sac.....
I put myself in the picture to give you some perspective of size.  The important thing to remember here, is that just a few feet back behind me, over the edge of the lip, is a Sheer 30' Drop Off that encircles the entire Cul-de-sac.  That wall is closer to failure.  This thing is now losing just a ton of dirt with every hard rain - blowing it all out the seams of the rear side of the wall.  Reggie, if this thing is allowed to collapse, then it is going to flood the Creek with Red Mud, and create an environmental nightmare that Big Canoe will jump all over because it all feeds into scenic Blackwell Creek.  I think that at some point you need to think about just putting up several lines of preventive silt fencing across the "Valley" that feeds out just below the Cul-De-Sac.  It's possibly a cheap fix to avert collateral damage to what is going to eventually happen.

Reggie,

Hope you are doing well.  I still think that a "Sustainable Living, Upscale Garden & Fitness Nature Community"  is the way to go.  If you could manage to owner finance the sales / building to people, then you might do well seeing as how you'll probably be able to charge 20% Interest soon the way things are going.  That's a semi-sarcastic commentary on the state of affairs by the way. 

Anyway, I just thought I would throw you an update.  For the record, what triggered the thought to drive through is that I got an email from "Whispering Creek Log Homes" announcing new management, new release of lines etc.   I didn't follow up for the obvious reason that I have no need to, but I did browse their collection, and I still think they really look attractive at a good price point.  If the two of you could ever come together on a Finance Package for Buyers, that would really be something.

Peace  - david
