In the last half of May, we've visited both Mt. Mitchell and Clingman's Dome -- the highest of Appalachian mountains.
Matt's off on his fastpack of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail, while I've been connecting with the people I know in Marion. As he heads east across NC, so will I, to visit friends and family and to explore the rest of our state on a parallel road trip.
What would be the hope of being personally whole in a dismembered society, or personally healthy in a landscape scalped, scraped, eroded, and poisoned, or personally free in a land entirely controlled by the government [or corporations], or personally enlightened in an age illuminated only by TV? - Wendell Berry
