5x expanded by MyCatIsAChonk (talk). Self-nominated at 22:03, 15 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Appalachian Spring; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• The article was recently expanded fivefolds, long enough, referenced, neutral and no copyvio obvious. The hooks are sourced, and I think ALT0 and 2 are interesting, but 1 and 3 are weaker. The images in the article either free or fair use. QPQ done. AGF tick due to the use of offline sources. Corachow (talk) 21:05, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
