Blogging from A to Z 2018: A for Appalachia

No fooling, I am back participating in the Blogging from A to Z April (2018) Challenge. Starting on April Fool's Day and on a Sunday. It is Easter as well. My post today isn't about April Fools, Sunday or Easter. It is inspired about my upcoming Battle of the Bands I will have on the 15th.


Today's post is about Appalachia. It's a region I've spent some time in. The region is more centrally located than the whole Mountain Range (hill range for you true Mountain lovers).

Above a snapshot of Appalachia taken outside of Marion, Virginia in late December.

Both places in the videos I have spent some time at and have many fond memories of some fun adventures.

The Great Smoky Mountains are included in the region..

So many great people there, adventures by foot, raft, and skis. Just a small taste of Appalachia.

Z to A: New River

The New River Gorge is a scenic place in West Virginia. It is also home to some of the best White Water rafting in the East. It is a favorite destination for me. Here is an article highlighting some of the best White Water rafting spots in West Virginia.

Here is a video from youtube to show what I mean.

West Virginia is really wild and wonderful.
