Already told slayer 1962its my kinda place Lotta moonshine trucking outside of Charleston and and woods no neighbors is a good thing

Sounds like Wilkes Co. NC too.

Wilkes is known as the birthplace of NASCAR, & was once regarded as the "Moonshine Capital" of America. Home to famous bootlegger & racing great Robert Glenn "Junior" Johnson.

Nitro, and the surrounding areas are known as "Chemical Valley". Was one of the top contenders on the EPA Superfund sites back in the 80's. Surprised it wasn't glowing in the dark. Nice and quiet now that all the polluters have left. See anybody with flippers?
 
I love when guys from NJ go to WV and make fun of how people live down there, I have been going down since I was a young boy and I always respected everyone I have met down there. No matter where you are from and where you go, people are different, NJ could learn a few things from some of the mountain men and woman I have met through the years. If it weren't for the winters, I would think about retiring there.

I was close when I lived in the pines the grizzly adams was a fellow driver I had to relay a empty to for his load I believe he was from Frederick md
 
It does look beautiful and the property is cheap, but on a scale of 1 to 10, how hillbillyish'/redneckish' are the people?

Are there actual pockets of civilization where you can drive 10 miles and be at a Home Depot, Outback Steakhouse, or Target etc...?

Like everyone else who possesses fiscal sanity, I need to "flee" from New Jersey sometime in the relatively near future, but I don't know much about West Virginia. I guess what I'm saying is, I'm perfectly fine with rural country living, but I'm not okay with "squeal-like-a-pig" Deliverance folks.
 
We have neighbors that moved here from WV ...... a family with 3 boys.

Without a doubt, never met finer people. Friendly & neighborly. Extremely respectful kids. Very religious folks .... but they don't shove their beliefs on you.

The father moved the family here because he felt WV was a dead end for his family.

They had to raise the drinking age to 23 in WV to keep liquor out of the High Schools.
[hihi][hihi]


A number of my sons' friends went to school at WVU. Seems people go WV to party, and then leave.
