Work has started on replacing the water flume on the Cable Mill located in Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The National Park has brought in expert craftsman from around the country to work on the restoration.
The mill was originally built by John P. Cable in the 1870's making it over 150 years old!
The mill and the water flume are made of white oak lumber which is indigenous to the area. White oak is rot resistant and water resistant making it the perfect material at the time.
White oak is also used to make ships.
White oak can last 15 to 20 years. The current water wheel has that beat....it was last replaced in 2000.
Inside the Hatfield and McCoy Dinner Fued tonight.
Great fun tonight for Hospitality Days at Hatfield and McCoy Dinner Fued!
The food was great! We had fried chicken, mashed potatoes, grass clippings (coleslaw slaw), corn on the cob and BBQ possum (pork)
It was all followed by chocolate or banana pudding.
The talented performers put on a memorable show.
