And today's featured store is a beautiful cabin built by the Civilian Conservation Corps at mile 24.1 of the Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park, the Elkwallow Wayside!  The photo of Timothy with his instruments (taken by his brother Lowell Seaman) in the booklet of the album Here On This Ridge is at the Elkwallow Picnic Ground in front of a similar building.
