Paul,

Raleigh & Wyoming counties are in the tough part of WV. Take a look at your map & you'll find that Logan, Boone & Mingo Counties are to the West.

Logan is really a tough place, best to keep your mouth shut & your eyes open, including the ones in the back of your head.

Mingo county is famous because of the town of Matewan. Matewan is where the mine wars turned deadly when Sheriff Sid Hatfield plugged a couple of Baldwin-Phelps detectives. I also believe that in Mingo county you'll find the Tug River, which is the area that the Hatfield & McCoy feud took place.

I've worked in those areas & the people will treat you well, just don't cross them.

Anyhow, back in '78, I paid $21,000 for my house & 6 acres, more or less.

I just bought a new work van, I paid more for it than I did for my house. [Linked Image]

Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.
