Where will you be this Halloween?
I'll be playing it safe, having dinner with friends in Washington, D.C. But my favorite Halloween memory goes back to Tennessee—the evening I took my six-year-old son down a road deep in the holler of Happy Valley, where we had a cabin a twitch away from the back gate of Smoky Mountains National Park. There, he did some real trick-or-treating by trading ghost stories and apples and oranges with kids and grown-ups on the back porch of an old log house. There's nothing like connecting with the essence of American country living—with the traditions, stories, and culture that play a critical role in connecting us to our own sense of place.
