How about somewhere in the Blue Ridge of northern Georgia-western North Carolina? The eastern continental divide region is different from the heart of Appalachia that was scarred physically and culturally by industrial coal mining.

Maybe you want to tell us if giving birth is painful? You know, since you like to talk about things that you have no experience with. I'm a person of color and I went to grade and middle school in Grafton, WV then went to high school in both Wheeling and Bluefield. I can tell you that racism is engrained in mountain culture. There is a very, very small percent of the population that is not bigoted but by and large its the norm. I jumped on Greyhound a few days after turning 18 and never looked back. Now I want to hear you tell us how gravity is on the moon..again since you've not actually experienced it.

As an American who had never stepped foot in the Appalachian mountains, put this place on your bucket list my Aussie brother! I have been as far north as Alaska, far south as Baja California. Been thru the Cascades, Rockies, Sawtooths, Chugach and now the Appalachias. Yellowstone, Joshua Tree, Glacier, Yosemite and now the New River Gorge Honestly thought I'd seen it all, but the Appalachias blew my mind. The mountains, terrain and sprawling deciduous forest is absolutely epic and breathtakingly beautiful. The way the rivers, creeks and streams thread their way thru the land is like nothing is ever seen. Like driving thru a postcard, no exaggeration. If you are an outdoors person, you will love what you find. The state motto of "Wild and Wonderful" has been uttered by myself many times upon bearing witness to state's seemingly endless wonder. I love West Virginia thru and thru 😍

Back in '71 we ( Princeton Tigers) had a wrestling match with Man. The snow storm started just as we got there and we ended up getting snowed in. We spent the night in the gym, on the mat with one army blanket each. Somehow the exhaust fan in the gym got turned on... geez it got cold in there... froze our behinds off! One of those nights that you're glad to see the sun come up!

Salt Peter Caves near Livingston KY would be an interesting tale… Salt Peter was mined there during the Civil War for munitions, and later it became a tourist attraction for many to see what’s under the ground. It was closed down for a period of time, but has reopened recently and I’m sure it would be a great addition to your Appalachian series

That big empty parking lot and concrete pad before you got to the high school is the former location of one of the original memorial hospitals built by the United Mine Workers in the mid-50s. It was where most victims of Buffalo Creek were cared for before the overwhelming number could be sent out to other facilities. It was closed around the year 2000, abandoned and finally demolished a little more than 10 years later. Sad story.
