A Walk Through the Woods

The path from the main highway to Kenan's Mill winds through the trees, but the walk isn't too far. This is what I call a perfect fall day.

Valley Creek at Kenan's Mill

The drought has turned Valley Creek at Kenan's Mill into barely more than a trickle.

The Swinging Bridge

Part of the old-time atmosphere at Kenan's Mill is this swinging bridge across Valley Creek. The bridge leads to the charcoal kiln that I posted yesterday. Now, you can't see any water in the creek, because the long-term drought has caused it to drop about as low as I have ever seen it. There wasn't even any water spilling over the dam.

Bluegrass fans

These two gentlemen were among a crowd of people who sat on hay bales or in folding chairs to listen to bluegrass music Saturday at Kenan's Mill.
