I've been through a few towns in Oregon and Nevada that look very similar to sad McDowell County. Aside from inner Portland, much of southern Oregon along the I-5 corridor is meth towns & campgrounds. It's like a cancer eating away everything and spreading outward. Today it's probably a combination of meth/opiates & fentanyl.
I grow a small garden every spring/summer, but admittedly not for survival. I just like the fresh crisp taste & that little bit of satisfaction I didn't have to rely on a grocery store plus save a few bucks as I'm a big beef eater.
From your local territory description I got a sudden chill of 'Deliverance' up my spine. Ha. Probably more real than I would know.
Distance from Welch, West Virginia to the wealthiest county in America is 367 miles...Montgomery County, Maryland.
