Moonshine in the Village!

We were told by our friend, Tom Huber, that the remnants of an old whiskey still were just off Casino road (at the unpaved part of the road). So, being the adventurers they are (actually nosey), Rosie and Bob took a ride over to see if they could find this still.

As Tom indicated, it was fairly easy to see from the road. It was back in the woods about 50 yards off the road. It's obviously been out of service for a long time. Back when it was in service, that part of HSV (which probably wasn't HSV) was very rural.

It's really hard to tell from this picture, but below is the burner for the still.

Next, Bob is standing by what looks like the distillation column and condenser. Looks like they used air to condense the alcohol. Maybe they worked in the cooler weather only.

Well so much for the excitement. I sure those revenuers would be all over any stills around here today. Besides, folks are too busy making other illegal junk - if it's not one thing, it's another.
