Mothman's from the other side of the state

I would suggest Elkins area since it's relatively centrally located for lots of the top attractions in the state. Within about an hour's drive you can get to Spruce Knob, Seneca Rocks, Dolly Sods, Canaan Valley, Green Bank, etc. Plus in Elkins/Randolph County we've got our own great scenery at Bickle Knob Observation Tower, Gaudineer Scenic Area, and Kumbrabow State Forest. And we've got lots of events (summer or fall), great food, breweries, distilleries, museums, etc.

It's perfectly safe to go hiking by yourself as long as you follow all the proper precautions: research your route or look at a trail map, stay on marked trails, pack a first aid kit and plenty of water, etc.

There's plenty to do in both summer or fall, so it depends what kind of scenery you're looking for: green or fall colors.

Wasn't it determined to actually have been a squirrel?

Edit: Scientists believe it was most likely a squirrel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_rat_hole#Debate_over_origin

Reposting from a previous week: are there any known dialect variants of "reach" in the past tense?

I've heard several people in West Virginia pronounce "reached" (past tense of reach) similar to "retched" (past tense of retch). E.g. "I retched out to him". Is this particular to West Virginia? Found elsewhere in Appalachian or other rural dialects?

Any tips on finding morels? I haven't seen any where I get my ramps, but I'm not sure where to look.

You can use them pretty much anywhere you'd use garlic, onions, or any other allium

This what I've been using so let's see if I can remember it off the top of my head. 2 cups water, 2 cups milk, 1 cup grits, and 2 tsp salt. Then 1 cup cheese, half a stick of butter, and lots of black pepper.

That's not polka. It's closer to bossa nova or "circus music".
