As we drove down a thickly wooded, lovely
country road, we spotted this hulking structure up ahead by the roadside. It was too
tempting to pass up. We pulled over and hopped out to stare up at this looming shadowy
place. It was awesomely creepy. |

First of all, I just loved the way
this place looked... nestled in the crook of the lonely back road. It's so foreboding. I
also liked the big rusty... thingy outside the building (pics below)... I have
nooooo idea what this structure is, but it sure does look wicked-cool. I even braved the
rusty old ladder and climbed up a bit to catch some more pictures... |

The inside of the old mill was
interesting. Because it is actually built into the hillside, you get the feel of being in
a sort of cave or cavern while inside, it even has that "cave" smell (if you
have ever been inside an underground cave, you know what I'm talking about), and the air
inside was noticeably cooler. Our voices echoed back to us inside the cavernous, dark
space. Can you just imagine venturing into this place at night?? |

As we were getting ready to leave,
we spotted an old timer loading some stuff into the back of a pickup down the road, so we
headed over to ask him if he knew anything about the place. He told us that it was a very
old coal mill that is not in use anymore. He didn't know how old it was, only that it had
been there a very, very long time. |

We thanked him for the info, and
then hit the road again. This time, we drove on til we ended up in New Hope, PA. New Hope is
an incredible place- a quaint, gorgeous little village that boasts a main avenue lined
with an eclectic array of places- you will find metaphysical/magic establishments, art
galleries, medieval /renaissance and antique stores, costume shops, coffee houses, and a
whole lot more. We spent the rest of the day wandering the main avenue and exploring all
the fantastic shops, until a light rain began to fall. Then we hopped back into our trusty
truck, and headed home eggless... but with some great pictures, and even greater
memories.
