Well, honestly, when driving through the West Virginia panhandle, I refused to get out of the car.

I told my son, "Wait'll we get to Maryland..."

But anyway...John Denver's still dead, but sorta lives on.

1. "Wait'll we get to Maryland" says my son in law!!!

He's a deputy sheriff in MD, where they (and I) live. My daughter attended West Virginia University, so they have some 'disagreements' about which teams to support!

2. Honestly

You will find that almost everywhere in America…Even California and NY…if we are talking about land, most of the country is like that

3. Taking I-77 and going south, last pee stop was Marrietta. West VA ...

... a scary place in the fifties and sixties. And more so after I saw 'Deliverance'. Yeah, I know, Deliverance was set in VA, but it looked a lot like WVA.

We had family in Beckley, WVA. Being the only longhair in town kept me on the farm when we visited.

4. We live in Virginia

Every year we visit my in-laws, who live in PA. To avoid I-81 we take SR 522 through Berkeley Springs...once we get to the VA/WV border the road narrows from 4 lanes to 2 lanes and it stays that way until we cross the WV/MD border and get onto I-70.

I guess it's no surprise that WV is #50 when it comes to its infrastructure!

5. Somewhat OT - That is a very lovely rendition...

…of that song.

I think it must be fun to be in a musical family.
