Absolutley! The Second ammendment is alive and well in WV and they have reciprocity with a lot of other states. (My home state of NV included) |

I think someone posted on here a while ago that WV's flag is one of the few (maybe the only) to have remained unchanged since statehood.
And I like the response... we're not northern, or southern, or middle-atlantic, we're Mountaineers.

That is a tobacco plant under the arm of the buckskin clad hunter...Virginia was big on tobacco...almost nobody plants it any more...takes a lot of care...Virginia Bright Leaf and Burley...hung in the rafters of the workshop to dry.
Grandpa would have me auger-drill a hole in the maple trees and plug in the leaf tobacco...cork it, let it age and then drill it out...pretty rough...was an old fashioned way of curing...

There is, or at least was a few years ago, a tobacco farm in Putnam County - had surprised me to see it. TY for the info - now that makes sense. I had always thought it was too cold here. |

We had been talking about moonshine on here - yesterday hubby came home with a jar a friend gave him. We think it's a great conversational piece.
Good grief - making hooch must be MUCH more common in WV than I ever imagined.

Didn't the laws change so that it 's OK to make alcoholic beverages for your personal consumption? I have a friend from Clarksburg who lives in Colorado now. He makes a lot of good wine out of various things like prickly pear, etc., and the best is his dandelion wine. Enormous dandelions grow wild in the Rockies.
