The wall of the dam was decorated for the holiday season. Potter extended the dam in order to install six turbines that in turn operated six milling stones. The mill was damaged by a flash flood on May 24, 1896. In the aftermath the spillway was replaced by a 35 horsepower Atlas steam engine.
The bar was full of energy and friends as we entered the Mill. We couldn't have hand picked a better crowed or musicians.
Joe and Vicky were back in town playing their blues roots music. With plenty of slide guitar in the mix, and both their instruments take turns thumping and plucking while Joe laid down a rhythmic beat with his feet.
Joe and Vicky really rack up the miles, as the play over 300 gigs a year all over the country.
Vicky, Susie and I talked quite a bit about life on the road and traveling in their 2003 Dodge/Mercedes Benz Sprinter. I'll stick with the V dub for now.
Vicky is also a multi talented artist in her own right, doing all the art work for their cd covers and guitar cases among other things.
