I was in WV a couple days ago to “climb” Spruce Knob. I drove right through Morgantown and took the Robert C. Byrd Highway to the Klan Meeti^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Elkins. I had several prejudices about WVers that, in the less than 24 hours that I spent there, weren’t born out. No toothless mountain folk were driving ’42 Ford pickups. Most of them were driving new trucks. Just kidding.
I spoke with someone from New England who had moved there, and he said he had also had the same misconceptions about WVers.
So, are our preconceptions about WVers wrong, or are there people like that elsewhere in WV? Are there remote hollers in the southern part with Deliverance types? And, I vaguely recall reading about remote hollers with only foot path and rope bridge access. Where are those in the state?
I was generally impressed with WV, but there’s still something in the back of my mind that there’s some truth to what I and the guy from New England were thinking about.

there are no doubt those type of people in west virginia, but there are those type of people everywhere. your typical west virginian is nothing like the preconceived notions. at least in morgantown, they aren’t.
