GG's 2007 Road Trip
This is one of my favorites on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The cabin was built by Martin and Caroline Brinegar in 1885 and they lived there until 1935 when the Parkway was constructed. Just down the path is the old spring house. Caroline worked on a rare old loom, must be a century old now. They still do demos on it. Two couples were there at the same time I was, watching the ranger work on the loom and talk about the Brinegars. Carolines maiden name was mentioned and one of the men said that name was in his grandmothers family, an Uncle Thomas or something. Just think, he takes a pleasant weekend drive and ends up with a whole new set of relatives on his family tree. Exciting!
