  Gaddy Covered Bridge, Mount Gilead NC "named after the Gaddy family, huge contributors to the founding of the wildlife refuge.." "Gaddy's Wild Goose Refuge 1934-1975 Lockhart and Hazel Gaddy once provided a winter home to over 10,000 Canadian geese. Thousands of visitors from all over world came each year to learn about the value of waterfowl management" Talk about mosquitos, at this covered bridge, I've never seen myself and the hubby walk so fast ...they were out in FULL FORCE ...it was nuts. We were the only 2 around ... wow wee!! It was fun to see. Thank you for stopping by today. Hope you are well. Take Care. Beth ( ; 

  Deep River Camelback Bridge, Sandford, NC "truss bridge is a steel camelback truss resting on stone and concrete piers, with a macadam road surface covering a plank deck, it spans the Deep River in NC.." I just love the BUNNY, see them there on the brick pillars, so cute!! When visiting this bridge, the lady in the picture was just sitting there, sometimes I find traveling to be tough in that, you wanna take pictures but when someone will not move, you don't know them to ask ... you just hope that they will not mind being in the pics. Oh well, so fun to see ... we love finding these beauties. Hey there, thank you for stopping by today. Hope you are well. Take Care. Beth ( ;

  Poplar Point Campground, NC (Jordan Lake Recreation Area) C loop, Apex, NC Look at that view, so fun to see the sunset, I always joke ...which do you prefer: SUNSET? or SUNSHINE? ...so many folks playin the water: be it kayaking, fishing, or just skipping a stone. Go on stare at that view. The bugs were bad, or maybe we are just extra tasty??! LOL!! Thank you for stopping by. Hope you are well. Take Care. Beth ( :

  Ebenezer United Methodist Church, NC Right down from our campground "Poplar Point Campground", Apex North Carolina. We had to get up close to check it out, have you noticed that so many of our churches out there that are named after "Ebenezer", (usually you only hear about Ebenezer during Christmas time, so he gets his life straight, on that right path once again) don't ya wonder why? I sure do. LOL! Thank you for stopping by today. Hope you are well. Take Care. Beth ( ;  Linking Up:  "InSPIRED Sunday"

  on Variety Mill Road, Norwood, Virginia  Wow, the internet is not much help on this beauty, "Society For The Preservation of Old Mills" : www.spoom.org  (if you wish to see the website for yourself, just being plain curious and whatnot??!) ...we even checked that website out, but no luck??! I am always amazed that mills are not taken care of, unless like a community has taken up a point to keep them going and whatnot??!! Makes me wonder why folks don't realize the importance of keeping things old or unique. Why are folks so ready to let go of the past and move on when a lot of what is "old (antique)" is made so much more great (i know my English is lacking there, but it is like why is it the saying is "if it ain't broke, why fix it??!") i mean i get that new technology is great for some purposes, yes, but not always. Makes you think?!?!? I think a lot of folks are amazed that we go out of our way to see these historical sights. Some might think, ...

 Calvert Mill (Washington Mill, "Old Mill")  Rush River, Route 211 / Route 522 Washington, Virginia "...water powered grinding mill; water source is the Rush River. name comes from George Calvert, Jr. a local landowner, owned from 1779 to 1800. additions made in 1840 and 1860. bought in 1979 by Peter Kramer, who planned to restore, as of 2008, stood unused and disrepair..." Taken during a day road trip in early March 2022. So, love those day road trips, just to get out, stretch one's legs and enjoy the Virginia scenery. What FUN!! We have a lot of times in Virginia where the weather is so back and forth temperature wise, it is quite odd, and you never know what to wear???!!!! So, you never put anything away. LOL!! This was a day where we had the windows in the truck down and enjoying the breeze. We had missed this beauty over and over; thankful the leaves were gone. Such an eye catcher, don't ya think??!?  Thank you for stopping by today. Hope you are well. ...
