Mill - 3

 

























Gulledge Mill, nearby Clayton.





Robertson Grist Mill, Clayton.











"Adams Mill", this is probably my favorite of the trip because I've never seen one this a built like this ...very unique in my opinion. COOL!! Really enjoyed Alabama's grist mill, it is amazing how different each state has been to see the way they are built, I biggest wish would be to chat with someone who is in the know about all these mills, why are they built this way or that? big wheel verses smaller?? ...they are so unique and fun!!  My hubby is a part of the "The Society for the Preservation of Old Mills". Click that link there for you wish to know more, if you are so curious, not sure if you have heard of it, You can find some mills you might have not heard of ever??!?!

Did you have a favorite from the 3 different mill posts?? Did you miss one? Please catch up "Mill 2" & "Mill - 1" You are so cool, and I wish to say thank you for stopping by. Hope you are well. Take Care. Beth ( ;

Interesting structures and beautiful skies! I am familiar with the Society for Preservation of Old Mills. They requested the use of one of my old pictures, so I let them use it. It was an old mill that collapsed sometime after I took the picture.

"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

Bass Pro Shop, Memphis, Tennessee

Image
Bass Pro Shop, "Memphis Pyramid", in Tennessee. We always enjoy visiting Brass Pro Shops around the USA. They are so always so creative, all different and interesting to see what they will be sharing. We are not fisher people. we just can appreciate the business. All sorts of games to play. Shopping. Lodging. Restaurants. In the brochure you can get at the front door this quote can be seen... "Ride the tallest freestanding elevator in America. Experience a ride to the top of the Pyramid in the 28-story glass elevator. Once you are at the top, stand on glass-floored observation decks that offer 360-degree views 300 feet above Memphis and the Mississippi River." (we didn't do this, it does cost extra doe to ride on up. but fun to see from the bottom looking up.) A must see if you are in the Memphis,TN. area. Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy your day!
