Appalachia
I’ve always wanted to spend more time exploring Appalachia, especially Kentucky
I’ve always wanted to spend more time exploring Appalachia, especially Kentucky. Been through some of the deep hollows in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, but I’d really like to get know more of what deep rural is like. A place in reverence of the mountains and land. Yeah, I’ve been to some places way off the beaten track in New York, like remote parts of Chenango County but it really isn’t as culturally different as some of places I’ve read about but not seen.

The 1,500-mile Appalachian Mountain range stretches so far that those on the northern and southern sides can't agree on what to call it: Appa-LAY-chia or Appa-LATCH-ia. The outside perspective on the people who live there might be even more mangled. Stories about Appalachia tend to center around subjects like poverty, the opioid epidemic and coal, but since 1966 a series called Foxfire has been sharing food, culture and life as it's actually lived in the mountain region.
