Had these pictures sent over via e-mail: Thanks to Spinner and/or Laurie! Unfortunately, they arrived without caption or comment by the photograper(s). So I'm giving it my best shot. As always, address concerns, complaints, and corrections to:

The first two are shots of some part of the Valley around here, I think. They do show a little of the local geography. It's scenic as can be, but you can see why running roads (or railroads) through these parts is still no easy trick!
They've been getting ready to restore the railroad bridge into Elkins across the Tygart Valley River. The Trains will be coming back to the old station (now a visitor's center) soon! This bridge land immediately at the southwest corner of the Darden Mill. (What a coincidence!) This is a view from the Mill looking southward across the river...
Finally, here are several good pictures of the Darden Mill taken quite recently. They show some of the work that's been done there lately, some of the problematic restoration issues recently uncovered, and the way that early Elkins structures were put together. Note the rough, heavy wood used and the post and beam construction.
