#jbphilly2 shares a visually stunning #bikepacking journey in the #Pennsylvania #Appalachians 10 days. All the literal ups & downs. Beautiful #somafabrications bike. I watched this eating breakfast before my morning bike commute. Only turning it down when #rickspringfield came on. 🤪😆🚲♥️
A narrow dirt path across a grassy mountaintop to another grassy mountaintop in the distance with more mountains in the mist beyond
Following the Appalachian Trail across Little Hump to Big Hump across the balds of Tennessee north of Roan Mountain.

3:27 PM EST, 12/1: The latest thinking from @nws.noaa.gov is that a significant early-#December #winterstorm will develop tonight. Heavy #snow is likely across the Northeast, with 5–10" likely (higher amounts possible). The southern/central #Appalachians may see #icing. #WinterWeather

The mountain changes with every breath the trees take from the heavens surrounding them. In one season a sigh as children run beneath her branches, build lean to’s and cross her streams looking for frogs. Her moss beds the dreams of a future, they can only hope to reach. In another season the breath becomes a scream. The mountains breathe in the smoke and dust as machinery tops her majesty, taking more pieces off to satiate a hunger without end. Wild fires ravage her ridges, turning hope to ash and the dreams become ground into her soil. The next season is silence, snow beds whispering if you're close enough to hear it. The dreams aren't lost, only awaiting the thaw to begin again. The mountain grows with us, Our mother, friend, and master of our wildest dreams.
It definitely still needs an edit and sharper imagery, but it was a nice one to write though. Been awhile since I did one for my "Mountain Mama" book. Anyway, best wishes all around 🤗

Another set for Asheville Scarefest! I wasn't about to take a trip home without making some bases that looked like the Southern #Appalachians! These are rainforest cliffs, with moss-covered rocks, leaf litter blown in eddies, and even a cave.

Kyanite quartzite from Baker Mountain deposit, Prince Edward Co., VA. Photograph: J. Wyman
Repost: Kyanite isn't just a fetching blue mineral that documents the experience of sediments under extreme duress.
It's an ore: Virginia alone mined 83,000 tonnes in 2023. Kyanite in furnace insulation transforms to mullite when heated, expanding to reduce […]

A year ago! I’d love to do another #poetry event. It was so fun to include all the senses! I also had ‘take home’ potpourri bags with spearmint tea & lavender and a medallion by @fbgfran.bsky.social made into a sticker tied to them. How id love to do another event!
#Appalachians represent! ☺️
This is one of the dykes found near Ayer's Cliff, just SE of Magog, Quebec. It's a set of three dykes, one of which has the deep-derived xenoliths. That one dyke has weathered much faster, perhaps due to a higher carbonate content.

A photo of an igneous dyke intruding into metamorphosed sedimentary rocks, exposed as a low outcrop (an old road cut).
A photo of a Cretaceous dyke intruding into Appalachian-deformed sedimentary rocks deposited in the lower Paleozoic: Earth history from 110 to almost 500 million years ago.
But #kyanite records more of the story: it's part of xenoliths brought to the surface […]

🦉There's another introductory post I've done for my BardicArts Substack site (I needed something up on it as it's my landing) but before I post it here later, I'll not waste a good opportunity to repost this one tonight🌙

A geological map of southern Quebec from Pagé et al, 2008. It shows the location of ophiolites (tectonically emplaced ocean lithosphere) along the margin of the Appalachians.
Quite a bit of #Chrysotile was extracted from the Jeffrey Mine, Quebec. It is located on a line of oceanic lithosphere attached to North America during the growth of the Appalachians.
The town of Asbestos, home of the mine, has been renamed 'Val-des-Sources' […]

Isn't it funny how these coastal flatlanders rarely pick on #Appalachians their own size? Oh no, they find the most pitiful, destitute, uneducated hillbilly and come at him. How 'bout me, bro? I have a graduate degree. I'm bilingual and well-traveled. Why, oh why, don't these guys want to debate me?
Nostalgic for my mountain
her curves beneath my feet,
her heartbeat in every tree
her breath in every breeze.
I am at ease in the memory
of her warm embrace,
solemn quiet whisper
of a truth blue ridges hide
beneath her folds.
