Appalachia

I was editing my snake trip photos this morning and found these snaps of a lake I stumbled upon while driving on back roads. Tucked deep in the middle of the most economically depressed county in the nation they have this beautifully manicured park. It had a very Asian feel. I found it extremely odd that it was even there.

This is a more typical scene down there. Old dilapidated building, a rusting pickup or two in the yard.

Roadside target practice. I realize that most states have the same problem, but on this one stretch of road, about 30 miles long, I challenge you to find a single sign that has fewer than 4 bullet holes in it.
