A LEVEL, PRIVATE GRAVEL ROAD BRINGS YOU TO WHERE WORRIES AND CONCERNS BEGIN TO DISAPPEAR. NEIGHBORS IN YEAR-ROUND HOMES ON LARGE PARCEL LOTS ARE CONCERNED ONLY THAT EACH OTHER’S PEACE AND TRANQUILITY, AND THE SOUNDS OF THE CREEK IN A SETTING OF NATURE’S MOUNTAINOUS VEGETATION AND WILDLIFE, REMAIN INTACT. PERSONAL CHOICE DETERMINES WHETHER TO CONNECT TO THE WORLD OF MEDIA BY LAND PHONES, TELEVISION OR INTERNET.
