Old abandoned mill. Blanchard Springs Arkansas.

Built right on the river, you can tell it was once powered with a water wheel. which makes sense in it's day. In my travel in rural Pennsylvania, I came across a couple mill buildings that still had the foundation of the "power" room visible. The water rise/channel to the water wheel were gone in both instances.
 
Don't know what they are but they look cool!
One post said they are Deer Moss. I didnt know what to think when we came across them on a trail.. there was a bunch of it. Looked like the forest floor was carpeted!
