I can't say I've really been able to leave the state of Ohio anytime recently... and no it's not because I love it. I think I last left 4 years ago in the summer, so I decided to take an impromptu roadtrip all the way to West Virginia! I 've never been so dumbfounded on beautiful these mountains were, and the sad thing is I know these aren't anything compared to Appalachia. FPP Dracula 64 ISO, HC-110 Dilution B for 8 min @ 68 degrees.

A historic railway town in the New River Gorge, West Virginia. I got SUPER lucky and got to see a freight train passing down! I'm surprised that even Amtrak makes it down here!
