Lobo, I'm 59 now and my older brother was living out there when I was about 13-14 and I went to stay with him for a while . It was great but my parents were not about to let me stay in Calif. Maybe that was a good thing,Lol.
I was born and raised in small farming comunity called Copley ,Ohio (5 miles west of Akron) Now it's all high rises and concrete. Moved to St. Marys, Wv (right across the Ohio river and bought a two story log cabin in the boon docks and lived there for about 5 years. Then about 7 years ago we moved to south central , WV (Clay County) and moved in to a house on top of a mountain. My closest neighbor is a half mile away . Closest store is 9 miles. Closest Wal-mart or mall is 55 miles . Lots of Bear, Deer ,Turkey and had a Bob-cat in the drivway last week watching the humming birds feed on our front porch,Lol. My wife was not to happy.
Get's a little lonely some times, but we like it. Mike
