We're taking a trip
to the Appalachian Mountains this summer so pack your gear and follow us on a
journey through the heart of Appalachia. We’ll be hugging the curves through
scenic mountains and beautiful valleys. I grew up there and have taken several
road trips there with my wife. She loves the mountains. It’s an unforgettable
journey that will take you through rustic towns and to scenic views and
overlooks. There are many unique places you won’t see anywhere else. We'll be driving the back roads and talking with people we meet. We love to
find an old time dairy bar or a 50’s style diner that has been unchanged since
it was originally built. I have an affinity for Appalachian culture. I feel at home in the mountains and
can’t wait to get back there. My wife’s father and many of her relatives live
there so we'll be visiting with them.
About growing up in the mountains,
"I remember the mountains where I left home, back where I was born, down at the end of a hollow… I remember walking to church on a Sunday when I was a youngster, and I had to walk the old dirt road when it was raining and there were mud holes you had to step in. I’d listen to somebody sitting in their cabin up on the hillside playing guitar or fiddle or banjo. The music was just ringing down those hollows and over that mountainside. It was a beautiful sound.”
