There's seriously so many beautiful areas in this state. Some, not that many fortunatly, need their own prison.

Here's some excellent information: I came upon the Ford Body Builder's Layout Book, which has all kinds of design specs. The 2001 MY book has the full snowplow addition specs on p. 266 (in short, use a 7700 model and don't exceed 650 lbs. for the plow and 2 passengers); on p. 155, they have a bunch of dimensions and specs. Great reference material!

Same here.
Virginia (and west va) is mostly beautiful areas with great people.
But there are too many places that need to be treated like in that Ft Apache movie.

Never saw that movie. The IMDB synopsis makes it seem a bit topical.

Yeah, I would suggest downloading for posterity, because it's a little surprising they still have them posted at all.

That's unfortunate because that was a good joke.

Like lower vs upper MI. Lower has it's damaged areas lol. Not all bad though. Further up the mitten...swear it's like night and day. Beautiful towns...maintain the old style look. Some cold winters up there though.

Sweet spots are abundant in the US... far outweigh the nasty places that make the news every other day. You CAN get away from it.
