TheDailyWoo - 858 (11/6/14) The Mingus Corn Mill

0:03 oh welcome everyone Adam L wo here hope

0:03 you do not think I was regurgitating up

0:06 water when in reality I was not who was

0:08 actually festooning off the top of this

0:11 little

0:12 walkway here in North Carolina right

0:15 outside Cherokee North Carolina I've

0:16 actually left Cherokee and I'm on my way

0:19 up the mountain over to Gatlinburg I'll

0:22 be staying in Gatlinburg for the next 4

0:24 days Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday

0:27 and then I'll be leaving Monday and

0:28 heading down to chatted new

0:30 Tennessee but currently I'm still in

0:32 North Carolina I'm heading into the

0:34 Great Smoky Mountains National Park and

0:37 look at all that Moss that is amazing I

0:41 am in the majesticness of Nature and the

0:45 wonderlands of water not only water here

0:47 but also water falling from the sky it's

0:50 a cold crisp

0:53 day so I got water from both angles from

0:56 way up top on my head from normally

0:59 right here here in the normal areas way

1:02 up high mid region and down below we

1:05 have water on all sides this my second

1:08 channel daily Vlog channel it's the

1:10 daily Mingus Mill the Mingus Mill you

1:16 got to be careful when you're walking

1:17 around here with these wet rocks however

1:20 it's very easy to Slick the slip I

1:23 should say on the Slick rocks especially

1:25 with the water very very slick and of

1:29 course the Moss adding to it when I was

1:31 walking down this hill I actually almost

1:34 slipped slipped and did not luckily I

1:37 did not break anything and I did not

1:39 slip but if I would have slipped and

1:40 fell that would have been something I

1:42 would have liked to have got on video

1:43 but I was not recording let's talk about

1:46 progress rate of change if you will and

1:50 the past I am fascinated by history and

1:52 the past and I'm also fascinated by

1:55 objects like this the MinGa smell sh

2:01 Kong water streaming in going into the

2:04 mill itself it's an old corn Mill

2:07 everyone here in this area years ago

2:09 basically relied upon corn they would

2:13 have corn three and four times a day so

2:16 where was the corn taken care of where

2:18 was the business taken care of the

2:21 Mingus

2:23 M see it says right here you did not

2:27 make it without corn everyone ate

2:30 cornmeal sometimes two and three times a

2:32 day and that was said by George Moore a

2:35 local resident so for over 50 years this

2:39 Mill was actually used for

2:42 corn built in

2:46 1886 the Miller would actually charge a

2:49 small toll of the percentage of the Corn

2:51 brought in so a very minimal fee keep it

2:55 operating to give him an operating cost

2:57 to survive and then he would let to see

2:59 what it says here from the water

3:01 pressure built up in the pin stock at

3:03 the flum in the turbine generated 11

3:07 horsepower enough to run at the Mills

3:09 all the Mills Machinery on the second

3:11 floor the smut

3:14 machine the smut

3:18 machine waa that sounds like an adult

3:21 website the smut machine blew wheat

3:24 grain free of debris while the bolting

3:27 chest separated ground wheat into Graves

3:30 by sifting it through fine to coarse

3:34 bolts of cloth so the corn would

3:36 actually go through cloth which is very

3:38 interesting here's the bolting chest

3:41 here's the smut machine I know you want

3:43 to know what a smut machine smut machine

3:48 right there the smut machine and here

3:51 was the Miller in 1935 his name was JN

3:54 Jones here's the millstones which are

3:57 probably still inside there

4:00 and the Mingus family which the Mingus

4:03 Mill was named after was actually sold

4:05 to the National Park Service in

4:09 1930 the water would come down The Flume

4:12 drop down in here creating the water

4:15 pressure and there we have it the

4:17 creation of

4:26 cornmeal all created right inside there

4:26 progress is amazing what we deal with

4:28 today and the rate of change rate of

4:30 change is an actual thing based on

4:32 technology and how things progress back

4:34 in the day things change very slowly so

4:37 something like this would have been the

4:39 basically the way things operated for

4:41 decades and decades and decades 50 years

4:43 like I said but now things change so

4:45 quickly especially technology phones

4:48 television cable satellites it's amazing

4:51 if you actually do some research on the

4:53 rate of change how quickly like 30 40 50

4:56 years ago if when you were a kid you

4:57 remember your grandparents talking about

5:00 how they remember when a color

5:01 television came out black and white to

5:03 color and then it was like so amazing

5:04 when cable came out 20 years later well

5:07 now we only have to wait two or 3 days

5:09 before the new iPhone comes out before

5:11 the new Android comes out before the new

5:14 internet

5:16 technology is festooned upon us but

5:19 stuff like this right here the old M

5:23 another old

5:27 M kind of brings us back to a simpler

5:29 time

5:34 this is that part where I've been trying

5:34 to do a little moment of quietness not a

5:36 moment of silence because that usually

5:38 refers to another thing usually when

5:41 someone passes away or you're

5:43 remembering someone you have a moment of

5:44 silence so we should probably change the

5:46 name to a moment of quietness brought to

5:48 you by Adam the woo me on the daily woo

5:52 oh yeah let me show you this as well

5:53 real quick before we go into the moment

5:55 of

5:57 quietness this almost looks like it

5:59 reminds me we have like a water park

6:01 water slide this is way before water

6:04 parks but look at this there's this

6:06 little Ravine that they've created the

6:09 water is flowing in does anyone know

6:11 where this water is coming from what

6:14 river or stream here in the Great Smoky

6:17 Mountains National Park just as you're

6:19 going out of Cherokee going over the

6:21 mountain to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge

6:23 what body of water is this coming for or

6:26 what stream or river leave a comment

6:29 down below and share that info with me

6:32 the water whips along and here we have

6:35 the Fantastic Mill and there's no one

6:37 out here we are all alone and now it's

6:40 time for Adam the Woo's daily woo moment

6:43 of quietness feel the Ambiance no birds

6:46 are chirping the rain is coming down

6:49 I'll let you just listen to the water sh

6:52 everyone be quiet and listen it begins

8:50 all right moment of silence if you just

8:50 noticed has been a moment of quietness I

8:52 should say has been averted because I

8:54 just slipped right there on that mud

8:57 patch and almost fell

9:00 down and that not would not have been

9:02 good so moment of quietness has been

9:05 completed what do you guys think about

9:06 the moment of quietness I was trying to

9:08 show you that awesome ladder right there

9:11 which they've actually removed the

9:12 bottom Parts cuz they don't want people

9:14 like me or other tourists that are

9:16 cruising through here which is

9:17 interesting I'm the only tourist out

9:19 here climbing up there showing you that

9:23 area so what do you guys think about the

9:24 moment of quietness I know I talk a lot

9:27 think about these Vlogs they're unedited

9:29 and when you meet me in person I don't

9:31 really ramble ramble incoherently on

9:34 this level however when there's a phone

9:36 in my face people are watching me you

9:38 get a little awkward and sometimes you

9:40 talk a little bit too fast a little too

9:42 quickly and a little too much I'm trying

9:45 to slow that down a little bit or at

9:47 least stop it once or twice a vlog and

9:50 just show you

9:52 majesticness in the form of the Ambiance

9:55 of the atmosphere we are actually

9:58 dealing with

10:00 so there you have it the Mingus Mill

10:03 look at that the Mingus Mill a lot of

10:06 people have been asking too hey how do

10:08 you take a picture when you're actually

10:10 filming when you say this is going to be

10:12 the screenshot like

10:17 this that'll be the screenshot that I'm

10:17 going to use for the Mingus Mill

10:19 basically what I do is I record

10:21 everything on my iPhone 5 into my camera

10:24 roll I go back through and I just do a

10:27 screenshot by pressing the two buttons

10:29 to create that photo I actually don't

10:33 take a picture I just do a screenshot of

10:35 the video and up that upload that onto

10:37 my daily woo YouTube channel so there is

10:39 the answer to your question yesterday

10:42 sir oh more people are coming up look at

10:45 this we're not the only ones out here

10:47 now two more people are approaching

10:50 hopefully they do not slip either on the

10:53 slippery mud that I almost did and the

10:55 Slippery Rock that I almost did at the

10:58 video like I said I'll be Gatlinburg

11:00 Tennessee I'm in North Carolina now be

11:02 going over the mountain hitting

11:04 up uh the what am I saying get to the

11:07 top of the mountain I'll be at North

11:10 there be going into Gatlinburg I'll be

15:16 to do two and three and four and five

15:19 Vlogs in a day one day I have to rectify

15:21 that I don't know how it would be very
