Mingus Mill, Great Smoky Mountains Park

Mingus Mill, in operation since 1886, is located

in  the Great Smoky Mountain Park less than

a mile from the Oconaluftee Visitor Center.

This mill uses a turbine instead of a water wheel

to grind corn and wheat.



Mountaintop Garden

Gardens are special...especially mountaintop gardens.

This garden has a view of mountains beyond mountains.....

some 40 miles away.... and is woven

around and on top of natural rocks.

Another view of this peaceful garden....

I could spend some serious time in that chair.

Corncob Mailbox

Folks in Nebraska take their Cornhuskers football

very seriously.... VERY seriously!

Some folks also wear corncob hats to the games.

Twelve Bones Smokehouse

Folks in Asheville love their ribs and the best place

to eat the best ribs is at Twelve Bones Smokehouse in the River Arts District.

If you don't believe me ask Obama.  Yes, THE President himself.  The

last time he visited Asheville his first stop after getting off

Air Force One was, yup, Twelve Bones.

This place has it all..their food is delicious.

Check it out...Obama has -  twice.
