Babcock State Park in West Virginia. This is one of the standard views of the mill, from the park headquarters parking lot.

At West Virginia's Babcock State Park. We stayed in this cabin several years back; I wanted a different view to commemorate this visit. (If you compare the pics, you can see that the steps have aged considerably over the past six years.) Glade Creek is further down the hill; in sight from the porch, but it takes some effort to reach.
The cabins were WPA projects, so they're visibly old, albeit well maintained. Generally speaking, the woods grew up around them; there'd been a major logging camp a bit up the hill into the twentieth century.
We spent much of the week on the porch. Relaxing. Worthwhile. And gorgeous.
===================
Found a nice video of Cabin 13 on YouTube showing what Babcock's cabins are like, beginning on the very skinny road down from the mill.

Babcock State Park, which is in and atop the New River Gorge, has CCC-built cabins for rent.
Another photo from our 2004 West Virginia vacation. You can't tell from these pix, but in our memory this vacation mostly featured rain.

Joan's sister Pam helps build these Playbouy pontoons. I'm posting this photo to show that someone appreciates her work.
Shot from the deck of Marietta, Ohio's sternwheel tourist riverboat Valley Gem, out on the Ohio River.
