Got a good buddy from Wolf Creek, West-By-God. Owns a piece of a mountain overlooking Alderson.
He said by late spring, you could tell the heavy ramp eaters just by walking by them.

I love the crap out of WV, but unfortunately I've spent more time in the panhandles than on the southern end.
Been trying to plan a trip out to Dolly Sods at some point. Easily one of the craziest places I've ever hiked around in, and that includes the Presidential Range.
A long while back, there was a storm that came out of Canada and brought lichen and other weird things you normally only see in tundra down onto the mountain there. The ground is blood red with the stuff in certain parts of the year. Once it gets close to winter, it turns pinkish if it doesn't get dumped full of snow.
Speaking of snow, it's also one of those places that creates its own weather. I once went out there with a buddy in high school. We were only walking around for about 2 hours and in that time we had 80-degree sunshine, fog, rain and hail. When a storm formed, I had barely enough time to drop my shit, pull out a raincoat and put it on. It was that fast. And the storm's not just above you, it's all around you, too. The fog's actually part of the clouds and can get you just as damp as the rainfall.
Lightning is scary up there. And there are pine trees up there with branches that only grew on one side of the trunk because of the wind.
They're one of the few states that really do live up to their slogans.
