Pendleton County, Bowers Garage, who will be at the accident just before the fire department. Where the weather at the top of the mountain is not the weather at the bottom. Where the fire department is volunteers who left their own supper to come. Where some of the phone numbers start 540, because Virginia is that close. Where the horse camp is run by people who ride, and the camp host is a chocolate Lab. Where the county was made in 1788 out of pieces of three others. Where the hardware store, the bank and the courthouse are all on the same street. Where there is a vet on North Main, which matters more than you think if you travel with a dog. Where a gravel road is not a lesser road. Where the size of a woodpile is a weather forecast. Spruce Knob, perhaps the closest some of us will get to Heaven. Where the guides have been taking people up Seneca Rocks for thirty-six years.
