Ed takes a rest during our lunch stop
From times gone by, this old grist mill
Of course, we can have a great time on almost any river...just enjoying nature. But this section of the Etowah has a secret!
During the days of gold mining, the miners knew that gold would accumulate in the rivers, down on the bedrock. So to get to it, they blasted a tunnel through a hillside to divert the river.
Well today, a portion of the river follows its original path, but a part of it still flows through the tunnel. And we just had to go through it!
