GET ME DOWN!

Potter's Mill will reopen the historic former grist mill that was turned into a popular restaurant and bed and breakfast in the 1980s, is scheduled to reopen under new management Aug. 1

The new place will be called Flatted Fifth Blues & BBQ at Potter's Mill. It will tie into the Mississippi River theme and feature Memphis and New Orleans food and jazz and blues music

For the last week Marty, Butch and I have been working on the 5th floor of Potters Mill or should I say the roof of the 4th floor. 

 After falling off of Kendo's while working on the gutters I been a little gun shy or working at elevation.

But, Marty appears to be good with it.

 Butch too.

So as Butch finished touching up the Mill sign, we got all the windows re glazed, painted and in on the North side.


And with that we're ready to reopen Potters Mill.

 That means no work...

Stop wishin!
              Go Fishin!

First stop.  Bailies Ford.

Then it's North to Backbone State Park to fish the upper end of the Maquoketa River.

 And finish up on Fountain Springs.

 We're working on getting our hiking legs back and using more muscle than just our scraping, painting and roof walking muscles.

 Remind me to put a stringer in my creel.
