Letting Off Steam

Backblip...

Saturday we got out a bit, we need to get out, the stir craziness is beginning to get to us all. Me and the monster went for a walk in the morning down to the Cooper Grist Mill.

"The stretch of the Black River on which the Cooper Gristmill is situated is well-suited for the operation of water-powered mills. In the 1760's, Isaiah Younglove began a flour milling operation that lasted until 1788. Over the years, the mill went through several owners, with the present mill being built in 1826 by Nathan Cooper.

Visitors to Cooper Gristmill can watch the massive water wheel power shafts and gears that turn 2,000-pound mill stones as the master miller - in period costume - explains the history of the mill and the vibrant community once called Milltown."

Well as you can imagine as everything is still covered in snow and ice the mill was closed (thats the back of the mill behind Daughter#1).

Aftre we got back we all (Me, Wife, Daughters #1 & #2) went to the Crayola Factory in Easton, PA. The girls really enjoyed it.
