The dirt is now gone and only rocks, sand and cement chunks are left.\u00a0 I took this photo from the deck on the back of the mill … looking down at the creek.\u00a0 In the photo you can see the wall (under the water) that blew out in the dust explosion of 1951.\u00a0 I thought it had been blown apart ….. wrong.\u00a0 The top part or second floor was cement blocks.\u00a0 They are all over the creek.\u00a0 The lower portion was a cement wall.\u00a0 Twelve inches thick with re bar –\u00a0 23 1\/2 ft wide and I don’t know how high.\u00a0 It is laying in the channel I have been looking for.\u00a0 The rest of the wall is still under the junk on the left.\u00a0 I need to remove this concrete to get to the channel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
