Default Water Tower Triangulation

With all of the twists and turns in TV's roads, orientation can be a problem for those of us new to the area.

Rather than leave them identical, why not paint the three water towers different colors, so at least I know which one I am heading towards.

A nice patriotic red, white and blue for Spanish Springs, Lake Sumter Landing and Brownwood should do the trick.

Even a band of paint around the middle of the bulge would work.

Give it a few more weeks and you will find your way quite easily. Just remember Buena Vista and Morse Blvd both run north and south.

I think there are 5 water towers. Not a bad idea but do you have any idea what it would cost to paint a water tower....gn

This is funny. We visited for two weeks before we bought. We were constantly lost. The running joke was "Oh, I know where we are--there's the water tower!" Of course we said that about every tower we saw and didn't have a clue where we were. I'm amazed at how well I've learned my way around. It doesn't seem bad at all once you get used to it. But in the beginning this place just seems HUGE and you can get turned around so easily.
