I've been living in Boone, NC for 12 years now, and love it! Every day the view out my front door of the Blue Ridge Mts. brings such joy to the heart!
I've been working on a photo essay entitled: Turtle Island: Living Life off the Grid in Appalachia. My dear friend Eustace Conway owns over 1,000 acres of land just a mile down the mountain from my house, and calls this property Turtle Island Preserve. The book, "The Last American Man" by Elizabeth Gilbert was about Eustace. He lives and works the land just the way the settlers did during Daniel Boone's time. It's very inspiring and peaceful when you go there. Eustace calls me his 'neighbor lady'! When he comes over for a meal or party he and his apprentices usually ride their horses up to my house.
I'm putting together the book now of Turtle Island. Here are some of the photos that will be in it.
