This automated process could produce 5,000 - 8,000 lbs (2,300 - 3,600 kg) of flour daily without manual handling. The "hopper boy" rake solved a critical cooling problem at the time: preventing flour spoilage.

Here's my WTA report of our New Years Eve day hike at Little Mountain Park up in Mount Vernon. But before the hike, we had breakfast at the Train Wreck Bar & Grill in Burlington. It's one of the best dining and drinking places in that area. I had a smoked turkey chimichanga with two eggs over easy on the side. #outside #outdoors #hiking #PNW #WTA #SkagitValley #MountVernon

They are:

- Andrew Jackson’s home/estate, The Hermitage, in central Tennessee
- Ashland, the home/estate of statesman and three-time presidential candidate, Henry Clay, located near Lexington, KY
