My travels around the Eastern part of the U.S. are considerably more limited than here in the Intermountain West, but the scenery is often breathtaking. Richly colored forests, dappled streams dropping over ancient layers of shale, sleepy little farms, and often imbued with layers of history, the Eastern U.S. holds a secure space in my heart.
