Sharing the natural treasures of northeast Tennessee, western North Carolina and southwest Virginia with others is my passion. Moving here from Illinois 18 years ago, I fell in love with this region, the people, the culture, the history and the mountains. It's thrilling to discover all the wonders of this region - I hope you like what you see and that you’re encouraged to venture out and explore this part of Appalachia for yourself!
