About

Happy 2022! Normally in our Winter Issue, we’d be casting our gaze to the year ahead. But allow us to look backwards just this once, because 2022 marks our 20th anniversary of publication. In 2002, there were people (OK, a lot of people) who told us that we were delusional dreamers. But we believed that the people who live here and the things that they dream, even the extraordinary landscape itself and its wild denizens, deserve to have their story told. We celebrate you and this glorious piece of the Southern Appalachians every month, and it’s a timeless tale that we’ll never grow tired of telling. Thanks for Everything! Sincerely, Janet and Marjorie
