Pound of Obscure Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I made out with my soon to be wife on that bridge in WV. If Neil thinks Pickens is the end of the road, he has never been to Mingo County. I soon fell asleep while reading the rest. Didn't get very far. Did he mention the band at all?

The Mighty Dudad Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Warning..this update does contain a few spoilers, so proceed with caution. Also contains a bit of stuff that will certainly get the haters hatin'. A good read, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why yes, yes he does mention the band, as well as the guest musicians and several spoilers that you might want to check out. so there Edited October 12, 2012 by nettiesaur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animate Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Good read! Thanks! I love Neil's reporting on life off the main road, and especially his quoting of church signs, and the way he dryly lets them speak for themselves. The last photo, with the comments about burning in hell, is pretty funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mother's family from there, Williamson. It is isolated and detached, many looong car rides as a kid going through the mountain valley to get there.....

lifeson90 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) reading those things always makes me think Neil desperately trying to make his life and travels seem more interesting than they actually are, just like the rest of us i suppose.

Thunder Bay Rush Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Every time I read something that Neil has written and I can't stop thinking of just HOW good a writer he is. Simple prose writing, but the most entertaining stuff around. Funny too. Love (again) the church signs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbirdsong Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I like reading his travel writing. He has a great ability to describe places I may have never known about and he is really good at brief history lessons as well. There is a bit of the old , but I have learned to live with it.

EagleMoon Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I love when Neil updates his travels. Looks like he came through SW Ohio too, which is cool. He seems like such a likable guy with a wicked sense of humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
