Two creeks and one small village's worth of garage door trouble

Fairchilds sits between two waterways — Big Creek along its northeast edge and Fairchilds Creek cutting through before the two join downstream — even though the village itself covers barely 2 square miles and only a third of one percent of that is actually water. That's still enough creek exposure to keep ground moisture higher near either bank than toward the center of town, and dampness at a track's mounting screws is a slow, steady cause of the rust that eventually lets a door slip its channel.
