My dad grew up in the Skook, too. Definitely Appalachia, hard to delineate from central WV geographically. I am proud as hell my family is from there with a mining background. Despite how backward the area may be, that region built America, period.

A well done local paper is worth its weight in gold, in terms of giving you an idea what’s actually going on in the community. The above is just evolutionary clickbait that triggers the fear response

Great movie. Unfortunately large portions filmed in Ohio and WV. When the hunting scenes were shown, I actually laughed—Washington state looks nothing like PA

In graduate school currently, and the weekend opener was the only way Id be able to hunt this year because of logistics. Not everyone is a teacher or in an industry that understands what that Monday means in Pennsylvania. I hope it stays Saturday.

It’s temperature dependent, too. Basically, if it’s above freezing, the reaction is accelerated and more electrons are lost.
