Built in 1830. the Old Mill of Pigeon Forge still operates to this day. It is a working tribute to the pioneer days of the Great Smoky Mountains. The mill was initially used to grind grain; mainly corn, wheat and oats for local farmers. |

A few steps over a bridge gave the two RV Gypsies a closer look at the dam and the underside of the bridge they just walked over. |

Below: A very patient bird waiting for dinner. |

Below: the flower pot was too tall for Lee to get his face framed correctly. Other people tried and they too, could not frame their face in the flower. |
