Same issue in West Virginia, West Virginia was the last state to report a case...the entire time I lived in WV, while WORKING AT A HOSPITAL I didn't catch COVID.

I legit never saw albino people in the wild until I moved there...then boom...everywhere because the albino family kept fucking each other.

Not that I ever intended visiting West Virginia, but now you made me scared to do so.

Honestly, WV is a stunningly beautiful place. That being said, if you’re on a canoe and hear banjos, you need to paddle faster.

I'll keep that in mind for sure. Kind of like the redneck on a child's bike in Illinois 😬

Contrary to popular belief, Deliverance was set in Georgia, not WV.

Same shit, different toilet

If you're on the toilet, and you hear banjo music...

Wipe faster?

Deliverance? I was talking about my own trip down route 66 :)

u/illbedeadbydawn 13d ago

I'm from Albuquerque, so my Route 66 is MUCH different to the one in Missouri...

Rt. 66 doesn't really go through the dirty south.

I know, we steered clear from the real dirt south, but we had a nice borderline encounter to realize that was just all for the best.

Well, this one particular encounter wasn't that impressive to be honest. But the whole trip was epic! Just me and my dad, 3 weeks, from Chicago to LA. One of the awesome St things was we landed when Osama Bin Laden was eliminated. Served as a nice talking point with the different locals throughout the trip.

Anyway, after arriving and staying in Chicago 2 days we head for the roads, heavily impressed by Chicago and our big ass SUV.

...endless corn fields. Boredom. Miles and miles. Until we saw a cemetery. In the middle of nowhere, completely unlike we know them from Europe. So we pulled over to have a moment.

As we stood there, peacefully, in a sunny wind, just relaxing, out of nowhere, shirtless tatted dude in ripped jeans and less teeth in his mouth then hours I had slept appears. On a children's bike. I'd like to remember it was pink, but that might be exaggerate bias.

Started yelling at us, waving something like a stick. Looked at my dad, we needed no words. We rushed back in our white tank and rushed off in a cloud of dirt.

But that was the strangest guy we met the entire trip, bar Vegas obviously (and that poor man's Vegas just East of Vegas). For the rest I met only the friendliest (some a bit more politically extreme then me but hey, you gave me a free meal and we had fun! 🤷), people ever abroad.

But wrong turn (original) was definitely West Virginia

It's just that West Virginia has strong "Deliverance vibes," not necessarily that we all think the movie took place there.

I was just about to make a “Deliverance” comment. 😂 I was gonna say that I live in WV, but in a … civilized … area. I’ve definitely driven through “Deliverance” more than one or seven times, though.
