This is why people leave the city. This is where the
rivers run wild and free, the roads wind their way through cool, quiet
forests, and the blue Appalachians rise all around you in the morning
mist. It's a hiker's dream, a paddler's paradise, and not half bad even
when what you want to do is nothing more than sit on a cabin porch for
a while and listen to the murmur of a stream.
