Howdy! We're at the foothills of the Blue Ridge.. loving the land and avoiding most of the inhabitants! The appalachian challenged can get a lil scary sometimes... though we do absolutely love parts of it!
We're pretty close to the W VA line and I actually have distant relatives there. If ya ever make it back this way give us a hollah!

Jess and christie alive and kickin it in SW VA

Back in the late 70's/early 80's, I lived in Marion, VA....in fact, my oldest child was born there.....

I have to say, while it was NOT my choice, the land was lovely.....it was where I learned to drive in snow....there were 4 seasons....

I sooooo love the 4 seasons there... My favorite is the turning colors of the trees and then the ice-cicles on the rock formations on the side of the hills.

Still chuckling over this: appalachian challenged

But hallo,

Living in WV. Currently snowed in

Grew up here, so of course I'm biased about the beauty of the mountains and streams.

My partner Tracy and I moved here 6 years ago, with our 3 now big teenage girls. We are in Morgantown, WV, only about a mile from downtown and heart of WVU campus. It IS beautiful here, but being from San Diego, I am used to, and even spoiled to natural beauty. I work here in Mo'town, Tracy down in Bridgeport. We don't get out much. The kids keep me REALLY busy, between orchestra, theatre, Lacrosse, and volunteerism. And I've become pretty avtive in our local UU Fellowship. If anyone is from/lives in No. Central WV, feel free to message me! I am craving some BF time and friends

Oh how I miss the Shenandoah Valley, the Blue Ridge, the Appalachians and Allegheny's (there's too many places that I miss all along The Ridge, to list)... I grew up in "Briery Branch"...and you're right Jess, avoided MOST of the inhabitants... I felt like Br'er Rabbit being chased by the fox! And when Momma yelled "I better not catch you down 'the Holl'er!" she meant it!

My last townhouse in Bridgewater had an AMAZING view...turn one way and you saw The Ridge... turn around and you had full view of the Appalachians. W-VA was only 30 miles away...and I really miss our Sunday drives, the secluded mountain lakes and ice cold mountain streams... fantastic fishing!! (and camping, but don't tell Christie ;-) My whole stompin' ground was all along the Ridge and Appalachians... I wanna come home :-(

Has anyone been to the Blue Ridge Parkway or Big Meadows Lodge on Skyline Drive lately? (before they closed for the season)

Hello to all of you Shenandoah Valley folks, I lived in Winchester Va for about 4 years. It is the hometown of Patsy Cline.....and the Apple Blossom festival, I think that the Shenandoah Mountain range is so beautiful....

One of the coolest jobs i ever had was in a book binding factory called Berryville Graphics right on the way to Berryville from Winchester...they were owned by BMG and sometimes the book binding machines would break and we could just sit there for hours reading books that were not published yet and every week there was a book sale for the employees..hardcover books were .25 and paperback books were .10 it was pretty amazing when i look back on it

Patsy Cline is buried in a little cemetary in Winchester on the way to Front Royal and where she is buried there is this amazing view of the Valley...I poured out a beer for her in tribute of course and on her gravestone is the most wonderful saying.....Death cannot kill what never dies, love Charlie....beautiful
