Tree Rock2336 viewsCheck out the rock in the tree above Lou. Only explanation I could think of is the tree grew up under the rock, which is now firmly embedded in the fork of the tree.

Got a better explanation send it to us.

Waterfall Exit2335 viewsWhen one decides to build a railroad in front of a waterfall what do you do with the waterfall after the water has fallen?

Easy, build a culvert, or trestle if you like, cover it with dirt and lay the tracks over it.

The water exits to the river and the tracks don't get washed away.

Jeremiah 2332 viewsJeremiah was a Bullfrog, was a good friend of mine, never spoke a single word, but he had some mighty fine wine.....

Got to figure out who wrote that stupid song so I can give him credit, whether he wants it or not.

Don't really know about the wine but, you can visit Jeremiah at Evins Mill.
