Life Is Old There

Almost heaven, West Virginia,
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
Life is old there, older than the trees,
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze.
Country Roads, take me home,
To the place I belong:
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country roads.
—John Denver, Bill Danoff, and Taffy Nivert

I just got back from camping in West Virginia, which ticks another state off of the states I've visited. We camped near Seneca Rocks, which I am almost willing to call a mountain. I'd go back to West Virginia.

I have ten (or nine*) more states to visit:
Alaska
Hawaii
Nebraska
Iowa
Minnesota*
Tennessee
Florida
Vermont
New Hampshire
Maine

*I've been to Minneapolis/St. Paul airport, but no where else in Minnesota.

You totally love that song. You wish we could have listened to it the whole weekend.
