When the mountains are hidden in mist the spirits come out to play
We started our journey yesterday and already it has kicked ass. We stayed at Cosby Campground in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Very quiet, shady and beautiful campground. Our campsite was next to a creek, which made a great backdrop. We stopped at a veggie stand on the way in to buy some local produce. We broke out the cast iron skillet and made some badass veggie tacos. On the way out of the campground we stopped at Ozone Falls. Great photo op and swim spot. The falls drop 110’ into a cool little swimming hole. Summertime vibes.

Fellow Appalachians, I am currently working on a project that requires the opinions of Appalachians–other than myself. What I need from you is any memory that you may associate with Appalachia–what comes to mind when you hear the word Appalachia, or Appalachians? Is it a scene? Is it a smell? A memory? Food? Movie? Quote? Folklore? Superstitions? Anything is welcomed–except hate, I think there is plenty of that to find elsewhere. I am deeply grateful to anyone who can contribute, thanks!
(Oh! Also, if you have any Appalachian artists that you would recommend, I would love to hear of them–to get a feel of what they think Appalachia embodies. This can be poets, photographers, musicians, etc.)

P.S.: Sorry for any typos, its finals week for me so I’m in a perpetual state of hurry. Thanks again!
The Long and Winding Road - Down and through, winding from the mountain top with its lichened rocks to the forested mountains fading to sky blue.

The Smokies have always felt so magical. Every time I go there I’m blown away by the the scale of the mountains, the smell of the forest, and abundant ways to get lost in my own mind. Here’s a shot I took on my way up to Charlie’s Bunion from Smokemont Campground. It was still winter, but this sheltered little tunnel felt warm and safe. It was so comforting that I had to stop and enjoy it for a moment.
