From the SIOC blog, Day 3

John Denver once wrote, 'Almost heaven, West Virginia.' Our day began in 'heaven,' and here are some things we learned. It's very hilly. Everyone drives American-made trucks, and you must have at least one piece of rusted farming equipment in your lawn at all times. If you have three old-school rusted Ford pickup trucks, then that means that elitist Yankees will stop their car, get out and poise in front of the truck because they are 'cool.' Everyone loves Mail Pouch Tobacco, so much so they paint their barns with the advertisement."
