Southern West Virginia v.s. The Smokie Mountains

So I've herd the only difference between the Smokies and our beautiful mountains of Southern WV is the Lack of imagination. Okay so there may be truths to that as most of the land in our Wyoming/McDowell county mountains is currently tied up in 4 major land/coal companies who refuse to let go of an inch. For Ive learned that our Mountains here really don't need Dolly Pardon or Broadway shows to bring in the tourists. We have imagination here that nature alone as set pace for. Fayette county for example has the most wonderful topography, views, rivers and farms. Last year the gorge opened up a new attraction called Zip Line. I would never imaging whizzing across an open gorge strapped to a wire but from the tourist feedback on this hair-raising event it is a most grand experience. So, take a heavy wire, secure it to one mountain then to another and let people ride it...imagine that!!-But some would say it lacks imagination, Ive seen this example of lack of imagination bring people from over our countries boarders to enjoy. People love it! Even though my toes tingle at the thought, I think it a most wonderful thing...No tall flashy buildings with a gaudy sign hanging off a rooftop to distort our beautiful landscape. Along with that, we have whitewater rafting, which is huge (again no tall flashy buildings) horseback tours through the mountains, rock climbing, atv tours, biking, hiking, guided fishing trips again no tall flashy crap crowding the interstate exits. Lets let the Smokies keep their imagination, we have here a true beauty mother nature gave us. Have a little look for yourself through some of what Fayette Co has to offer:

Hello to all my Acive Rain Associates.

Just wanted to share with those of you who dont already know (((( POSTLETS.COM)))) Its an amazing tool for you to advertise your listings on social networks such as Zillow, Myspace, Facebook, linkedin, Twitter and so on...These social networks do not feed from our MLS systems or Realtor.com like homes.com and truila.com does. But with the POSTLETS.COM (which is FREE by the way) you can add your listing from there to all sorts of places. Its something this real estate agent cant live without, and you shouldn't either.

Love and Peace to all my Peeps,
