Mabry Mill

Posting, on a delayed basis, a series of images from Mabry Mill in North Carolina.

Rich in history, Mabry Mill is one of the most iconic and photographed structures on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Ed Mabry built the mill where he and his wife Lizzy ground corn, sawed lumber, and did blacksmithing for three decades.

A Viaduct in the Mountains

Linn Cove Viaduct – this 1243-foot concrete segmental bridge on the Blue Ridge Parkway snakes around the slopes of Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina. It was completed in 1987 at a cost of $10 million and was the last section of the Blue Ridge Parkway to be finished.

Framing Glassmine Falls

After a good rain, the view of skinny Glassmine Falls on Blue Ridge Parkway cascading down a cliff across the valley is very dramatic. During drier weather, the waterfall reduces to a trickle. While the sign at the overlook claims it is 800 feet tall, you are probably looking at a 200 foot drop.
