Introducing the Blog




I love to travel.  I also love to take pictures and tell people about them.

When a friend first suggested I write a travel blog last year, the name I had in mind was "Assateague and Appalachia."  Having been confined largely to exploring the far and obscure corners of the Mid-Atlantic for about five years, it seemed to be a good choice.  As a tribute to that original conception, my first entries are about Assateague Island National Seashore and Frank Lloyd Wright's "Fallingwater," located in the mountains of western Pennsylvania.

I realized I wanted to do more, though.  The blog's name, "Mountaineer Fernweh," is just a description of me: a native West Virginian with what the Germans call "far-sickness."  Upcoming entries will cover new breweries and colonial churches of Maryland's Eastern Shore (not at the same time!), as well as Amtrak's Cardinal to West Virginia, but look for entries from beyond and far-beyond soon.

I hope you enjoy the journey.
