Tanglewood – Some changes Summer 2016
Some last minute changes
Tanglewood potluck supplies
We now have a way of securing our supplies for our Sunday potluck that does not involve Julie Johnson’s Cabin #3. We now have a steel box which sits inside the wooden fence surrounding Julie’s propane tank and we are hoping that this will be bear-proof as soon as we add a lock. If you have duties for setting up the potluck, this is where you will find supplies.
Schedule Change for Homeowners Meeting
It appears that Saturday, July 2 is a busy time in the valley, so rather than taking up your whole day we opted to take up only part of it. Here is what we have settled on:
Work Day – Saturday, July 2, 8AM-11AM – Right now, we have a few trees in the common areas along the creek that need to be cleared out. It probably won’t take all that long but it would be great to have some help on this.
HOA Meeting – Sunday, July 3, 2PM – Keefer’s Cabin – Short meeting (shooting for less than 1 hour) to discuss Tanglewood business
Signup Sheet for Volunteer Positions
As you know, we get along up here with volunteers taking the duties that provide the things that are part of Tanglewood. Typically, these include chapel duties which include: welcome, lead singing, play organ or guitar, special music, devotional and other duties: prepare for potluck, mail and trash. Rather than wait until you are here to start thinking about it, here is a sign up sheet that you can use to give us a heads up of who is available: Tanglewood signup sheet
We Now Have Paypal
If you would like to pay your 2016 dues using PayPal, you may do so using the email address tanglewoodhoawestcliffe@gmail.com
You don’t need a PayPal account. All types of credit and debit cards are accepted. All transactions are secure and we have no access to your financial data.
Private Road Maintenance
Some have asked about maintaining the roads on individual properties. The roads inside your property lines are the responsibility of the property owners, however, if enough of you would like to get together and order road base to be delivered, we can certainly help you do that with contacts in the valley and estimates of how much it will take for your particular situation. It will be much more economical to order a large amount because the delivery charges are significant.

Tanglewood – Preparing for Summer 2016
Here’s hoping that you are busy preparing to include some time at Tanglewood this year. We are looking forward to seeing you.
There is some business that we need to take care of. Here are some dates that we feel will work for the majority of people. As you know, we usually have a work day to take care of Tanglewood property issues and we try to have that close to when we have the annual property owners meeting. Here is what we settled on:
Saturday, July 2, 9AM-11:30AM Work day
Not real sure what this will look like until we get there and find out what winter did to us. We will let you know more on this later
Saturday, July 2, 12 Noon Lunch for those participating in workdaySaturday, July 2, 1PM Annual Property Owners Meeting
Usually this will last around an hour. We don’t have any big issues that we know of at this time. If you have agenda items that you would like to see discussed, please respond to this email. Be in consideration of either volunteering to run for road commissioner or suggestions on someone that we should consider.
Tuesday and Wednesday August 30-31 Chipping
These are the dates that Casey is available to chip slash for us. Last year it took every bit of the 2 days. Hopefully it won’t this year but we have asked him to be available on Wednesday just in case. We would like help on this if you are up to dragging limbs. Your HOA dues include 30 minutes for chipping.
That’s about it. There has been a change in how we store the supplies for the Sunday cookout. We are purchasing a bear-proof container to be placed near the cookout area. We will keep all of the dry supplies and utensils, containers, etc. in this instead of cabin #3. Julie has asked that we no longer leave trash in her garage.
Tanglewood HOA Dues
Dues remain at $100 per year per principal property represented. If you own several properties you only pay once. Please consider paying yours early or at the HOA meeting in July. You can mail a check made out to “Tanglewood HOA” and “HOA Dues” in the memo to:
Tim Wint, 1105 Prairie Creek Place, Flower Mound, TX 75028
or (after June 1)
114 Mockingbird Hill, Westcliffe, CO 81252
If you would like to use an alternate method, please respond so that I can give you instructions privately.

Tanglewood December 2015 Update
I hope everyone is doing well and is not buried with holiday preparations.
Nothing special to communicate but I thought I would send out an updated roster. Two properties have sold since this summer, the Eastwood cabin and the Bailey’s. I don’t have exact information on the new owners, I included what I could. Here are the links to the files. You may download either a PDF file or an Excel spreadsheet by clicking on the following:

Stay safe. Look forward to seeing you next summer.

End of Summer 2015
Dear Tanglewood Friends,
Well, we had a great time this summer in our beautiful setting. Many of you were able to spend some time here and we enjoyed being able to visit with as many of you as we could. We met some people for the first time this summer, some of whom have been coming for decades but for some reason, our paths had never crossed. It was wonderful to refresh old relationships and build new ones.
The Crossing
As many of you know, we had a lot of snow and rain late in May and into June. Early in June, as the snow melt peaked, Goodwin Creek was running bank full and was as full as anyone could remember. It was pretty amazing to watch. And then, our low water crossing near the potluck area by the Johnson cabin gave way and most of the rock washed downstream, causing the crossing to become almost unusable except for big 4 wheel drive trucks. Even heavy delivery trucks were refusing to cross it. We knew that we needed to make some repairs. So, thanks to a hard working team that put in a good half days effort preparing the area and an equally hard working crew of about 20 that volunteered for workday on July 3, we were able to move enough rock into the creek and bring it back to normal. I estimate that it took about 14 tons of rock. Thanks so much for all of the effort that went in to this project.
The Roads
Even though we had a lot of rain and snow, our roads have remained in fairly good shape. We did, however, notice that from the covered bridge up to the red gate the road base was beginning to erode and expose some rock, so we had 3 loads of road base delivered and spread in this area. This should help.
Slash
As you know, keeping up with a forest is difficult. Trees die, limbs fall and all of this needs to be cleaned up. We scheduled a chipper to come in to help us with this in late August. Everyone drug limbs and trees out to the roads all during the month of August. By the time the chipper arrived there were MOUNTAINS of slash to be chipped. It took about 3 days, but we finally worked our way through it, thanks again to a hard working crew that helped feed all of this into the chipper. The forest looks so much better and we have reduced the risk of fires greatly. Each property owner receives 30 minutes included in your HOA fee. I recorded the time spent on each property and if the 30 minutes was exceeded, I will send you an invoice later.
We hope everyone had a great summer. Be safe through the winter and we will see you again in 2016!
