    If you are in such a location and feel like you are being watched...You ARE being watched, folks know the cars and trucks that belong up in that holler, and if you aint in one, you ARE being watched. the good news is if you break down or get stuck somoen will be happy to help. Threy may ber curious about what your doing in their neck of the woods,but they will help."out for a drive and got turned around" is a pretty solid explination .

    Never even thought of WV until my daughter moved there, her husband took her "back home" WV is one of the most beautiful places. I go by train & the green is just amazing.the ride up the mountain is spectacular. 💚

    I'm house bound so I love these ride a longs ! We used to do this in the 60's we would just drive out into the country and each time just turn off on a road we had never taken before, there are some really cool places out there.

    of those hilly regions. So relaxing just to sit next to one.

      A lot of roads are maintained because the post office needs to deliver mail. But the roads can be very rough especially with the twists and turns. I have some footage of going up and down the mountain roads if anyone wants me to post those I can do that.

    Interesting HNH. Because I was born & raised in a "flat" state in the Midwest, I find those hills to be intimidating and eerie. I don't think I would want them right behind my home and I'd never step outside at night either. Having said that- I admire those that do.
    I also get a kick sometimes of the crazy things people have in their front yards. I think I saw a Lay-Z-Boy recliner. 😊
