Elk Creek is the small township in which our modern mountain home is being built. It is a beautiful valley in southwestern Virginia between Independence and Whytheville that will remind you of the Napa Valley as you are driving through. While grapes do grow in Virginia, the Elk Creek Valley is more known for the hills of fraser fir trees growing everywhere. Oh, there will be the occasional pumpkin patch or corn field, but mostly its Christmas trees. The Valley Diner is the neighborhood meeting place, or so we gather, as their parking lot is packed with cars most of the time. It also serves as gas station(tractors welcome), beauty shop, and real estate office.
Great pictures! I think you are capturing the area well. I especially like the tractor at the gas station.
