It was cloudy today, delaying the top removal until the afternoon. And rain later made it necessary to put it back up. Typically my itinerary is written on toilet paper, making changes likely, even necessary. I adjusted my route through the mountains of West Virginia to revisit a favorite of mine from a previous trip, Babcock State Park. The main attraction is the Glade Creek Grist Mill, which was completed in 1976.  Fully operable, this mill was built as a re-creation of one that once ground grain on Glade Creek long before Babcock became a state park. It is used to grind corn meal and buckwheat flour, which is available for purchase by visitors. The water level was too low today to allow for grinding because of lack of rain.

I am staying at Front Royal, VA at the northern end of my planned trip through Shenandoah National Park, and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The small specks visible in the sky are a few of the hundreds of leaves falling from the trees.

Indecision is the key to flexibility.
