-Torrey's Peak Clear Creek County Colorado- I grew up with this awesome peak a few miles from my home. She holds a special place in my heart. I always make a point to take a glance at her when on the i70 corridor, knowing that new experiences await me as I pass by. I took this shot on Illford Delta 400 a little over a year ago before my buddy @forrestjamesdylan and I reached the summit.

"Sometimes, I put on some pants and I go up the mountains and I look at the trees and how beautiful it is in the mountains. I like being in the mountains. There’s all kinds of flowers that grow and I pick them for my mom and dad. Usually I just see birds chirping, and sometimes I see our state bird, the cardinal."

“I’m short. I was born short. I play video games and ride my bike. I like jumping on my trampoline. I like living in the mountains but sometimes the radio gets static-ky when you drive through them. I’m not a hillbilly. It means you are poor and stuff. I ain’t. It’s hard to tell a hillbilly. I can’t tell which are the peace ones and the Hillbilly ones. I’m getting hippies and hillbillies confused. The hillbillies are the poor ones. They may have nice clothes but that doesn’t mean they have money. That’s what I think. It was a pleasure you meet you. You need to grip whenever you shake a hand. It makes you confident.” Plez Dean, Age 9; Harlan, Kentucky. 👉 page link in profile 👈 #centralappalachia #appalachia #appalachian #kentucky #easternkentucky #harlan #harlancounty #mountainkid #mrpersonality #harlancountyboysandgirlsclub
"My dad stays at home now. He had a stroke. He is 52. He’s always there for me. He was an X-ray surgeon. My mom works. She takes care of people, people who are sick in a nursing home. My mom is nice, honest and works hard.I wanna play in the NFL, play in the NBA and race NASCAR. But I wanna play basketball most. My hero is Stephen Curry. When I retire from the NBA I’m gonna drive NASCAR. When I make all that money I’m gonna give it to the homeless. Have you ever ate snake before? It’s good. We put it on the grill. Snake tastes like Chinese food. My friends think it is nasty.“ Alex Bynum, Age 12, Student; Sunshine, Kentucky. 👉 page link in profile 👈 #centralappalachia #appalachia #appalachian #kentucky #easternkentucky #eastkentucky #whitesburg #harlancounty #mountainkid
