Meytre's Grist Mill
McGalliard Falls Park
Valdese
Burke County, NC

This old mill was originally constructed by Fred Meytre in 1906. In 1916 a flood washed the original waterwheel away and it was changed over to turbine power. Meytre operated the mill until 1941 producing corn mill, wheat for flour and hammer mill for livestock feed. The mill is located next to McGalliard Falls which is a 40 foot falls.

The mill was rebuilt when Mcgalliard Falls Park was created in 1982. FDA regulations limit the mill's output to products not for human consumption.

Topsail Beach
Topsail Island, NC

Along this time every year, even though this winter has been very mild, I start thinking of places I had rather be. Topsail Island always comes to mind because it is our favorite vacation place. This is an unspoiled beach as you can see how un-crowded it is in the middle of June. This was taken during our 2011 vacation from the balcony of our motel.

NO!!!! I did not ride it.
