Welcome


Hello,

 Welcome to the first installment of my new blogg! this has been a work in progress, and will continue to be. I have been wondering how I should kick this off. Then, the other night, my
 wifes sister asked for a copy of this picture for her living room and I thought that this would be a good start. I want to do a series called Grist Mills, and I'll kick it off with this one.
This is Webbs Mill. It is located in Spring Hope NC. It was an active mill until the flood of '99 rendered it inoperable. The water was up past the second story windows! This is a more modern mill, in that it uses turnstiles to power the mill, instead of T traditional wheel, that we are used to seeing. the owner is in the process of restoring the mill, and will be back in business soon.
Well that is it for now, I hope you will come back soon, and thanks for visiting.

Jeff
