>>1940196Ehh I guess I just prefer that Appalachian Mountains because it's more familiar to me and I know more about it but there's a real sense of discovery when you're walking around off the trail finding old Groves of black walnut and old sassafras which have supposedly been extinct in the area for a while now. Also *COUGH* GINSING IS A TOP DOLLAR ITEM *COUGH* and sassafras root is awesome as a drink.
Also the aesthetics and Backcountry vibe of it all.
