Pendleton County, Where a motel office is inside the pizza place next door. Where the highest point in West Virginia is somewhere you can drive to. Oakwood Estates, where the rocks in the road are bigger than your truck. Spruce Knob, perhaps the closest some of us will get to Heaven. Where the gym is open at three in the morning, if three in the morning is when you are up. Where the ground rises and falls further than in any other county in the state. Where you can build a home and the only inspection you need is for the septic tank. Where you might not know your next-door neighbour, but you are related to them. Where the maple sap starts running around the tenth of January. Where maple syrup runs faster than the handyman, and more reliably too. Where a road named after a creek will follow the creek. Korner Shop Cafe in Franklin, where you are sure to run into someone you know.
