OK. I take it back. Kentucky is worse. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such a dirty place. What I think they do—Kentuckians, that is—is dump the trash in the creek all winter with the hope that a spring flood will wash it all out of the yard. I guess it might work, but what happens when your upstream neighbor does the same? The thing is, the western Appalachians don’t have to be ugly. The creeks flow out of hardwood uplands, across sandstone ledges, and through cool groves of dense hemlock. It can be beautiful.
Concur, Kentucky is worse than its southern neighbor. The trash and dead dogs on the road were too much for me. If it weren't for the humidity and the uneducated, the south would be a nice place.
