A Spot of Weather


Mabry Mill.


Storms on the Blue Ridge

We cut our drive short yesterday, after driving for hours in the blinding rain, through standing and flowing water. We wound up (just us and about a dozen bikers) in a small motel that not only didn't have internet, it didn't even have phone service!

So here we are, a day late and a dollar short.

    I lived in Roanoke and visited Mabry Mill several times making sure that we went in all seasons.

    It is wonderful everytime. Do they still sell fresh ground flour--I used to get buckwheat flour there when I visited.

    I am enjoying your blogs and pictures of my old home, southwestern Virginia.

    Travel safe.

  4. No, not inside. They had other displays of tools and equipment, but they were all outside, and it was pouring down rain.
