Route 21, West VA.

 






"Mitchell Mill" Brandywine, West Virginia


We were so lucky on the weekend of April 16, 2023, ...we found 3 different mills we were not familiar with ...we love finding new to us MILLS!! If you missed any of them, please catch up.... "Sugar Grove, West VA" and "Red Mill, Palo Alto, VA" . Just like the 1, I'm calling "Red Mill" this one had a huge wheel ...not saying without the mill you can not have the wheel ...they go hand in hand. But those wheels are awesome to see ...often wonder when the wheel goes missing ..,what happened or where did it WHEEL on off to?? Curious. 

Look at those puffy clouds ...it was a gorgeous Sunday. We dropped by an Aldi and picked up some lunch meat, cheese, fancy rolls, honey mustard, some kettle chips ...and a few other fixings for another day ...and kept on driving. We found a stopping spot round about lunch time (that's NOON TIME if anyone is curious?? LOL!!) and made of a sandwich. Good day. Nothing like a sandwich in nature ...spring offers such sweet smells ...flowers are blooming. Glad I take my allergy medicine but still fun to be out there.

This one was before Sugar Grove, West VA route 21 south of Sugar Grove. Thank you for stopping by today. Hope you are well. Take Care. Beth ( ;

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get

Lincoln's New Salem, Petersburg, Illinois

"Lincoln's New Salem" , Petersburg, Illinois. Can we just say 1st how difficult it is to spell ILLINOIS. nuts!! I think it is even easier to spell MISSISSIPPI. right??! We were told about this site, thanks to a tour guide in Colorado, he said there is a man who works here that look just like Abe Lincoln himself during his young years. Now if you know anything about me, I LOVE HISTORY. 2nd I love anything Abe Lincoln, he's one of my most favorite presidents ever. So I was super excited to meet this gentleman, do you think he was working the day we visited? nope, any ways... A lovely walk & we had fun seeing all the animals. I wonder why we live in such big homes, this one above shows a nice size home all you need in one little room. Less space, less money to pay each month. Sounds good to me!!!
