Welcome, ejr! I'm from southern Ohio, and have spent most of my life commuting to WV for recreation. Kayaking, snowboarding, ATVing! WV is an awesome state! I know that my tourism dollars have likely paid for the higher education of several WV youths over the years.
Not sure where Gilmore County is, but I still love the scenery in the state. My friend from Fayetteville use to always ask " Why do the trees in WV lean north" His answer was "PA sucks", my response "WV Blows" anywho, glad to have you join. Even though you are south of the Mason Dixon Line..... LOL
