In a recent episode of FX's 30 Days, Morgan Spurlock returned to his home state, West Virginia, to work in a coal mine.
The show gave the impression that the state is all about coal.
Well, at first glance, that's pretty accurate.
We passed numerous coal refineries and pro-coal billboards today as we wound through the Kanawha River valley on the way to Charleston.
Most of the state itself, though, looks much like the picture to the left (not mine, unfortunately). It is in the heart of the Appalachian mountains, a very old range that is mostly tree-covered -- not many bare peaks, in other words. It makes for a very relaxing experience.
(Note: West Virginia tourism did not pay for any of the above.)

What funny looking trees. I don't think I've seen those around here. And isn't it about time those leaves are supposed to be brownish?
