As far as Appalachia is concerned, I was born and raised there, and for some strong reason I have a good feeling that I know a LOT more about what it can do to a person than what you do. Thanks for all of your input though concerning my question, I appreciate it. Sport
Mine comment about the insult was also tongue in cheek.
As to knowing a lot more about the mountains of the east, let's just say perhaps...or perhaps not. I toured the Ouachita's in 2010 which I consider to be kind of the western (and gentler) end of the Appalachias and I did 1200 miles through the heart of them this spring, so I've been rather intimate with them. Both of them kicked this western mountain boy's butt.
