The sun is beginning to filter through the trees, and the dogwoods are in full bloom here on this beautiful spring morn at the John Oliver Place………….Split-rail fences require much more timber than other types of fences, and so are not common in areas where wood is scarce or expensive. However, they are very simple in their construction, and can be assembled with few tools even on hard or rocky ground. They also can be built without using any nails or other hardware; such hardware was often scarce in frontier locations…….American chestnut was the tree of choice until wire fencing became cheaper and the chestnut blight eliminated this tree…….. The distance between either the zigs or the zags was 16½ feet or one rod. A landowner could then count the zigs or the zags along the side and end of his field and determine the number of square rods in a field which in turn told him how many acres the field contained. One hundred sixty square rods is one acre, so a field ten rods times sixteen rods was an acre.

The corn crib at the Tipton place is an example of a double pen corn crib, larger than average, and having a driveway through the center. This not only provided a way to conveniently unload the wagon but allowed for extra air to flow through the crib. The hewn log sides were left with open spaces to allow air to circulate through the corn, both allowing it to dry initially and helping it to stay dry…The roofing is known as shackes, which are wooden shingles usually split from leftover parts of logs ….Behind the crib is the edge of a cantalever barn unique to this part of the country……This shot was taken on Cades Cove Loop Road in The Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

This is an example of a Double Pen Drive Through Barn, they were a little more prevalent than the cantilever barn in East Tennessee. This design provided an out of the weather area to fork hay into the loft, stalls for the livestock, and a dry place for equipment. Two men could work each side from a wagon in the middle when putting up hay, cutting the time used in dealing with the hay. This barn is located in the Cable Mill Visitor Center Area of Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountain National Park

The Tipton Place – Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA Hamp Tipton had this house built a few years after the Civil War. In 1878, James McCaulley, a blacksmith, lived here until he built his own house. The Maryville Index cheered McCaulley’s arrival in the Cove, declaring that his ironworking skills would supply a long needed want. This explains the presence of the blacksmith shop in the hollow beside the house. The long shed on the opposite side of the house is an apiary or bee gum stand. Honey was a common confection, and also a money crop for some farmers. The apiary sheltered the hives from the weather, but not from bears. The smokehouse in the front yard held the winter’s supply of meat and the woodshed kept firewood handy. Across the road is a double pen corn crib, larger than average, and having a driveway through the center. Behind the corn crib stands a replica of a cantilever barn. Built in 1968, it is similar to the original that stood on the site. > Companion Piece http://images-1.redbubble.com/img/art/border:blackwithdetail/product:laminated-print/size:small/view:preview/1223691-1-the-tipton-place.jpg!:http://www.redbubble.com/products/configure/4160293

John P. Cable Mill – Great Smoky Mountain National Park, USA – Black & White version > In Cades Cove there were few sources of power which the frontiersman knew how to harness. One of those power sources was the water wheel such as drove the early grist mills. Cable Mill is one of those. The Smoky Mountains Natural History Association keeps Cable Mill running in Cades Cove to teach the Smoky Mountain visitor a little about life in the 1800’s. The mill is operated April-October. A handful of enterprising residents in Cades Cove built water driven mills to grind grain. Their hope was that other Cades Cove families would prefer paying them to grind the grain rather than to struggle with the small inefficient tub mills at home. The tub mills were only capable of processing a bushel of corn each day. The entrepreneurs were correct and ran fine business in Cades Cove as a result. Cornmeal was the only grain that could be ground in the tub mills and so the waterwheel driven mills that could grind wheat into flour was a welcome addition to the cove. Now biscuits could be eaten some of the time instead of cornbread. Payment for grinding grain did not always mean money exchanged hands in Cades Cove. Sometimes money was paid but other times the miller was paid a portion of the resulting flour or meal. Besides John Cable, his son and also Frederick Shields operated mills. Cable and Shields took double advantage of their waterwheel by using it to power saw mills as well. Cable was the only person in Cades Cove to use the overshot water wheel. Like most business men in the Cove, Cable was also a farmer. He could be summoned from the fields by a large bell he had on the property for that purpose.

These 2 mating bugs are the Large Milkweed Bug, Oncopeltus fasciatus, they are true bugs. Beetles, moths, flies, and butterflies are not. Bugs have the usual complement of structures that they share with just about all other insects: six legs, three body parts (head, thorax, and abdomen), and two antennae. True bugs (order Hemiptera) do not have mouths for biting and chewing food—they have a tubelike beak for sucking fluids. The milkweed bug in nature sucks nutrients from milkweed seeds. Milkweed bugs are one of a small group of insects that have the ability to tolerate the toxic compounds in the milkweed plant. They are therefore important in regulating populations of this plant. This type of milkweed shown here is the Butterfly Weed, asclepias fuberosa more will be said of it on another shot

In many of the 19th and early 20th century historic buildings, in National Parks, you’ll see the graffiti like “Bob was here.” Bob wanted future visitors to know he was at the cabins and so did a host of his friends who also left their mark. Graffiti is a problem in public lands. In Great Smoky Mountains National Park the National Park Service has posted signs educating visitors about Bob and why defacing historical and park places is destructive and unlawful. Great Smoky Mountains National Park visitors caught writing their names on park objects, including historical buildings, can be fined. Its not enough for Bad Bob to deface 100 year old buildings but also leaves his mark on rocks and trees for the enjoyment of all. Not only does Bob leave his graffiti for all to see but leaves his garbage as well. They are plenty on waste disposals through out the National Parks and heavy fines can be levied for this as well. Don’t be a “Bad Bob” respect that, that has been set aside and maintained for all and their future generations. Don’t know where the park service come up with Bob probably because Bad Bob kinda sings and is easy to remember..The fine can be up to $5000 and 6 months in prison..that’d help ya remember too.

This is Henry Whitehead’s smokehouse. Being constructed well, like his cabin, it has stood the test of time. During a tornado that ripped thru Cades Cove in the latter part of 1970s, a pine tree was uprooted and thrown on top of the smokehouse. It crushed the roof but the sturdy walls held their ground
