  • Just outside of Meridian Mississippi is a place called Dunn’s Falls which is a 65-foot man-made waterfall made in the mid 1800s for powering a gristmill and cotton mill. There is also an old gristmill there with all kinds of old stuff inside!

    I love checking out these places outside of my hometown. What’s the last interesting place you’ve gone to outside of your hometown?

    I went there as a kid 25 years ago. Seems like yesterday. I remember it was 95 Fahrenheit. A "cool front" the weatherman said. The water felt so good. The wheel and a the gears used to work back then. I never went back. Maybe I will.

    So awesome. I'm glad to see you're always careful deej. We have a gristmill about 40 min away that was built in 1849. It's beautiful. And has walking trails. I need to go back and visit. Great vlog! 😎

    Beautiful place, brother. I was so nervous about those old dry-rotted boards as you strolled along - even though I knew you would be fine since I was watching this video. LOL! Be safe and be blessed, sweetie!

    • @NOLADEEJ
      @NOLADEEJ  5 років тому

      Haha yeah I was a little nervous, too :)

    At 2:53 that's called a 'sluice' - there'll be a sluice gate above it so that water can be diverted to the wheel

      @NOLADEEJ  5 років тому +1

      Cool! I was hoping there would be some info at that place about what some of that stuff was, but there wasn’t

    Wow! That place is a treasure! You were brave! That wood looked sketchy to say the least! LOL! what happened at 7:54? Yellowjackets? Glad you didn't get stung! What a great place! I'm impressed that people haven't vandalized it . TY for sharing! That was beautiful! (I know going down was a breeze, but how was it coming back up those 5,000 steps?) Lol!

    • @NOLADEEJ
      @NOLADEEJ  5 років тому

      Hah it was some sort of stinging creature that I didn’t wanna mess with. Lol!
