Only off by 1,253 feet, or almost a quarter mile (.237 mile). NOW that's a "BIG difference"! Sorry, that's not the number you stated.

Numbers don't lie unless you misstate them.

You are so wrong. First of all Eureka is at 10,000' and Howardsville is BELOW Eureka and VERY ACCESSIBLE. The county road is probably 80' wide, at least and always maintained in the winter by the county.

Howardsville and Eureka are both wide open.

Who cares if the side roads are closed? There is nothing up there to go to in the winter.

Do not tell me what winters are like here, sir, because you are VERY MISINFORMED.
