The old mill wheel

Another view of the old mill wheel in Cumberland Gap, Tennessee

From Cumberland Gap, Tennessee

I have no idea of the history of this house/apartmment building. It always seems sort of out of place. As if it should be a big country estate. Instead, it is on a little street in the Gap...

The Town Hall

Even the Cumberland Gap Town Hall has a quilt block....for some reason of all the quilt buildings I took, for the most part I cannot name the quilt blocks used. Some of them, such as this one, really look familiar but I cannot think for the life of me its name. If you know any of them, please feel free to tell me in your comment.

From the Gap

There is a bicycle museum in Cumberland Gap...and if I remember correctly it was run on donations. We were not in the mood to go in it on this visit, but maybe next time. A couple of guys there told us it was a good one.

Looking back

This is taken from below the mill wheel in yesterday's post. That water is ice cold, so cold that rainbow trout live there. A few years ago, there were several over a foot long, but this past weekend we did not see a single big one. However, Roger finally spotted one about 10 inches in length and Sarah seen several smaller ones on down the way in another little bitty stream. They blend so well against the rocky bottom that I would never have seen it.

From Cumberland Gap, Tennessee

This was taken a few years ago on a visit home...the lower right corner is washed out, but the picture still appeals to me. It is a scene that invites me to come in and sit a spell.

Isn't this inviting?

This is a scan of an old B&W photo...with all the cloudy, foggy days, this sure looks inviting. It was taken in Cumberland Gap, Tennessee a few years ago.
