It is a very beutiful state. Just out side of Washington DC.(Eastern Pan handle) The people are very friendly! Although, you will find a few exceptions. We have rural areas, suburbubs & small & medium size cities & towns & 2 major Universities West Virgina University & Marshall University. One of the best known edible plants here is the "Ramp" AKA; wild leek that come up in late winter-early spring. It is very pungent! The state is sung about in the song "Take me home country Roads" by John Denver. Timber, Coal & Chemicals(in the Kanwha Valley(around the Capitol city area) are our main Industries.
Best time to see it is in the early fall; late September-early October. The state is very beutiful that time of the year. The eastern part is best, more rural With the leaves changing color. It look a little like the Ardennes. We have many State Parks & national Forests.
So, come & see us! It's Almost Heaven!
P.S. (FYI) DOW Corp. bought out Union Carbide.
Cheers,
Tim
