We are all giving away our ages here. Yes. First thing thst comes to mind is John Denver. Take me home country road, to the place I belong....West Virginia. And beautiful horses grazing in unspoiled meadows. And hardworking underpaid people. You're either very well off there, or very poor.

A lovely state, fog, (at least when I went there), and lots of greenery, crabapples, mountains and flowing highways. Interesting people with wonderful stories to tell. I went there in the 70s and loved the people that I met, enjoyed the scenery and found it memorable.
