summary: 
You Can't Miss It - For a newcomer, it is very difficult to navigate the Appalachian mountains of Kentucky. A circular audio tour that brings listeners to surprising places.

From the place where southeast Kentucky meets Southwest Virginia, an audio portrait of the twisting, curving roads of the Central Appalachians and the surprises you can hear when you surrender to the (almost) eventuality of getting lost.  And a conversation with Katie Dollarhide, a strong, beautiful mountain woman who has lived near Whitesburg Kentucky all her life.

3:55 - You Can't Miss It - a circular audio map that bears no resemblance to maps and roadside signs.  More like a map of a state of being.

13:24 - Conversation with Katie Dollarhide about the joys and challenges of contemporary mountain life.
