Clinch Country - On our first chase on the northern half of the Clinchfield, we made Clincho our primary stomping ground as we awaited the YN2 duo on X852. There are many iconic shots to choose from in this area, and so we took what we could get and went with it. This was the first time we had ever shot anything between Boody and Elkhorn City, and so we made the most of the opportunity.
