It was tough sledding for awhile, but I'm on holiday and I wont bitch about it too much.

Superb......that abandoned place looks in pretty good order though?

It had some signage in front of it with historical facts, so I assume it's been rehabbed a bit by some historical society, etc.

Everything is wood?

Yup. The rock here is mostly granite and marble -  very hard to work with when all you have is rudimentary tools like these folks had 100+ years ago. All they had they brought with them from back east - nowhere to buy anything here.

Off the bikes today, so will post up some pics of me drinking beer someplace?

And food, I’m always curious of the food you eat in the USA.

What are “collared” greens? 

I could do without the m&c but that looks great

 

I mispelled it. from Google:

Collards are members of the cabbage family (Brassica oleracea), and a staple side dish in Southern cooking. They feature dark green leaves and tough stems that need to be removed before eating. The flavor of collards is a cross between cabbage and hearty kale, similar to Swiss chard.

Went to google it too, a sort of cabbage, by the looks of it it’s also very common here. My favourite soup is made with them and chorizo, Caldo Verde

And still snow on the peaks?

Yup - and it was 95F today (35C). It'll be there until it snows some more on top of it.
