The ruby mine (or mines as we like to say just to sound more homey) has been an ongoing project in the Gulledge family. Fletcher and Clyde planned to install a waterwheel on Big Turtle Creek and soon decided that a ruby mine would add the perfect touch of rustic charm. And so it goes . . .the "boys" add small items and tinker with the mine every week. Plans for a cafe, hotel and general store are in the works. Keep visiting for updates!
