When my wife PCSed from Long Island to Fort Knox we made several trips where we passed through West Virginia and I was always blown away at how gorgeous it is.
I have a friend who lives in northeastern Kentucky and so I've been there a couple of times and completely agree it's absolutely beautiful country but that area is very economically poor because it was so big into coal mining. If I remember correctly, the county where she lives is one of the poorest in the United States.
Very very, heartbreakingly poor. When we first got to Kentucky was blown away by the number of "coal it keeps the lights on" license plates.
My wife hits 30 years in six years. Kentucky is high on my list of places for us to retire to.
