Anyone know where this is?

I would be willing to bet it's not around here anywhere. I give up, Where is it.

Looks like Ruby Falls near Chattanooga.

Berkeley Springs, West Virginia

I got to tour the place when I was about 6 yrs old. I guess they no longer allow tours now though with the new owner.

It also has an interesting history behind it.

That's cool. I have a friend near there and didn't notice it when going through. I want to take the family there sometime on a day trip just to check out the area.
This castle is a couple miles from me, new owners don't allow tours anymore either but the previous owner showed me and my kids around.

You can see it from route 522 but it isn't easy and only in the winter. I was coming back from VA Beach with the girlfriend and wanted to show her only to find that we couldn't get in.

I wasn't even aware of the one you visited. That's great that you got to check it out.

Hey, Todd! That's close to me, and I didn't know it exists! Thanks for the heads-up.

We got a tour 'bout a year ago that included the mill at Aldie, plus the James Monroe mansion, just a tad north of there on 15. The owners allowed a group of homeschoolers to tour their house. Pretty neat stuff!

This was from the Jim Creek/Cavitt Creek Fire.

Wow, whose yarder was that? I know Plikat had a tower side up Little River somewhere when that Jim Creek fire was going on...

Here's a Sky Crane shot from the Rich Fire (Quincy, CA.) - I was getting ready for a 400 ac. burnout.

Whitaker was in charge of the operation. So I'm assuming its theirs. Heres a few more shots.

Too bad for Whitaker...I know a few of their old boys, cutters mostly...I'm sure they took the insurance though.

I hope so. I couldn't get pictures of everything they lost. A D9 got toasted as well, up the hill from the yarder. Holding one of the guide lines. They also lost a cable truck. Full of new cable. The carriage. But no one lost their life. So that's a plus.
