on the trail of the Appalachian Knowledge Economy



I took this photo this evening as I was coming back over the mountain between Blackwater and Jonesville. Blackwater is a very small rural community in Lee County, Virginia , nestled in a big beautiful valley, deep in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. Today, with a USDA grant and some regional Virginia Tobacco Commission funds, rural agrarian Blackwater has fiber-to-the-home, and an emerging online cemetery directory to boot.
