As a writer and photographer with extensive travel

As a writer and photographer with extensive travel experience, I have come to appreciate the hidden allure of my hometown, Ashland, Kentucky. Initially, I viewed Ashland as just another urban area, notable more for its commercial and industrial aspects than for its scenic or cultural offerings. However, after visiting many other places across the country, I now see Ashland in a new light, charmed by its revitalized urban heart and its commitment to preserving its unique character.

Near Greenland Gap in West Virginia, you'll find P

Near Greenland Gap in West Virginia, you'll find Patterson Creek Falls, a charming 15-foot waterfall that flows into a pool about ten feet deep.

Greenland Gap itself is a stunning water gap formed by the North Fork of Patterson Creek as it winds through New Creek Mountain. Named after the verdant Greenland community nearby, this tranquil location is surrounded by impressive Oriskany Sandstone cliffs, rising over 800 feet. Although Greenland Gap and Patterson Creek Falls are only a short distance from US 48 (Corridor H), they remain relatively undiscovered and seldom visited.

Amidst the serenity of the New River Gorge Nationa

Amidst the serenity of the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve in West Virginia, nature sometimes holds its breath during ephemeral dry spells. However, when the heavens pour forth their bounty onto these ancient hills, the transformation is swift. A once unassuming stream along the New River Road, often overlooked due to its low flow, bursts into life after a downpour, becoming a roaring testament to nature's power and beauty. ¶

On a clear autumn day, I found myself at the R. J.

On a clear autumn day, I found myself at the R. J. Corman farm near Wilmore. It was no surprise to see the horse and cattle farm beautifully lined with maple trees, their leaves a fiery spectrum of reds. The scene seemed a fitting homage to Rick Corman’s enduring impact.

Richard J. “Rick” Corman was a prominent businessman and entrepreneur in Central Kentucky, known for his dynamic presence and significant contributions to the railroad industry.

Born in 1955, Rick Corman began working in the railroad sector at a young age. His entrepreneurial journey started in 1973 when he established his own company with just one backhoe. He nurtured this venture into the R. J. Corman Railroad Group, a comprehensive railroad service and support enterprise that offers services including construction, operation of short-line railroads, and emergency response for the railroad industry.

Corman’s strong work ethic, visionary leadership, and innovation fueled the growth of the R. J. Corman Railroad Group. The company became notable in the regions it operated, particularly recognized by its striking red locomotives which symbolized swift and efficient service.

Beyond his entrepreneurial success, Rick Corman was equally celebrated for his philanthropy and active engagement in community work. He bravely fought multiple myeloma for over a decade, exhibiting relentless tenacity and resilience that mirrored his approach to business.

Rick Corman passed away on August 23, 2013, leaving a profound legacy in both the commercial realm and his local community.

Each autumn, the rugged beauty of West Virginia's

Each autumn, the rugged beauty of West Virginia's New River Gorge is temporarily overshadowed by a daring display of human audacity during Bridge Day. On this third Saturday in October, the iconic New River Gorge Bridge, an engineering marvel suspended 876 feet above the river, transforms into an exhilarating stage for hundreds of BASE jumpers from around the globe. Crowds gather not only to witness these leaps of faith but to celebrate the spirit of adventure, partake in festivities, and enjoy artisanal local goods. This event, evoking both awe and communal celebration, is a testament to humanity's eternal yearning for thrill and connection, set against the backdrop of Appalachia's magnificent landscapes.

The Coopers Rock overlook in West Virginia's Coope

The Coopers Rock overlook in West Virginia's Coopers Rock State Forest is a well-known spot, offering stunning views of the Cheat River gorge. Located conveniently close to Morgantown and just off Interstate 68, it's a favored destination for many.

I found myself waiting patiently for over an hour at a spot near this overlook, anticipating the sunset. As the sky transformed into shades of burnt orange and clouds drifted elegantly across the horizon, the scene grew increasingly breathtaking. Meanwhile, the earlier crowds began to disperse, and at the peak of this magnificent light, I found myself alone, soaking in the serene beauty.

This experience reaffirmed that sometimes, capturing the perfect moment requires patience and the willingness to outwait others.

The Pumpkin House in Kenova, West Virginia, began

The Pumpkin House in Kenova, West Virginia, began as Ric Griffith's modest tribute in 1978 and has since evolved into a mesmerizing display of nearly 3,000 pumpkins, each symbolizing a Kenovan. Originally showcasing just five pumpkins, this iconic attraction now draws countless visitors to its historic Beech Street location during the Ceredo-Kenova AutumnFest. Admission is free, allowing everyone to marvel at this grand pumpkin spectacle every last weekend of October.

I set out to make the most of a weekend photograph

I set out to make the most of a weekend photographing some of my favorite locations in West Virginia, knowing it would be my last trip through the area for a while—a sort of farewell to Appalachia. What better place to end my first full day than along the Highland Scenic Highway, a 43-mile scenic byway that winds through the Allegheny Highlands and Plateau within the Monongahela National Forest?

The charmingly rustic Rock House Road lies on the

The charmingly rustic Rock House Road lies on the east side of Tygarts Creek in Carter County, Kentucky. This one-lane gravel path winds through an impressive sandstone rockhouse, a natural marvel that gives the road its name.

As you journey along Rock House Road, you’ll find yourself near the ghost town of Deevert. Established by Lorenzo D. O’Roark, the area once contemplated two names—Deevert and Overt—suggesting it may have been intended as two neighboring communities. At its peak, Deevert was home to 150 residents. The town’s post office, a relic of its more bustling days, operated from May 7, 1901, until it closed its doors in January 1942.

Today, just a handful of houses dot the area, more abandoned than active. It’s worth the drive to explore this remote corner of Carter County and discover this hidden natural wonder.
