WOW! Some amazing shots of some of the most beautiful parts of this country. That shot on the Gallery announcement looks an awful lot like a tiny place called Thurmond, WV....population 7. Thurmond used to be a major stop along the C&O railroad back in the old days of coal. It was also where they filmed the movie 'Matewan' that tells about the plight of coal miners trying to unionize in the early 1900's and was the sight of a massacre between miners and 'company henchmen'. Check it out if you'd like to catch a glimpse of Appalachian life 80 or so years ago.

Really, you should prepare a non-stick pan with some Smith & Wesson oil....
