Many of us have never really spent an appreciable amount of time in a truly European area. We may have been in the “white part of town” that’s 90% white, but we’ve never truly experienced what it’s like to be solely around our people.

I challenge you to make the trip, if you can make it to Poland or parts of West Virginia, or eastern Europe it will amaze you. You may understand in an abstract how good it is, but you just wont know until you go. It’s possible you might not even come back.

The total population for the county is pretty low. The one black family live on the side of the highway, probably afraid to live out in the redneck, hillbilly areas.

Been here for 4 years now and am pretty happy with my five acres on a mountain. Got zero neighbors, but do have deer, rabbits, a family of 8 wild turkeys. No snakes, no gnats, no mosquitoes at all. Peach tree, persimmon tree and 20 dogwood trees. Home sweet home!

I'm from Louisiana. Skeeters can eat you alive down there. Now I'm on a mountainside with no standing water at all anywhere nearby. Down in lower places, there are creeks but again, no standing water. We originally did havenon-biting gnats when we bought the abandoned place, but cutting back the growth eliminated almost all of them. We seldom see any at all, but we did put out a large bowl half filled with Apple Cider Vinegar that we added a few drops of dishwashing liquid to, and the smell attracts any and all flying insects except bees. That bowl catches some gnats, plus all sorts of hillbilly bugs. When it snags and drowns a hornet or a wasp, I rejoice. but no mosquitoes here.

I even saw 'snow mosquitoes' in Yosemite in February long ago. Amazed me. Mosquitoes and snow? Nights down into the teens and twenties, plus skeeters! But not here in Clay County, NC.

Or blacks. Almost paradise.

i live at the coast part of the year and in the appalachians part of the year, but been stuck at the coast lately. now that you bring it to mind, i can't recall getting eat up in the mountains by the skeeters but there are some of these things that look like ladybugs but are not. definitely are not. and while hiking i will beswarmed by these kind of biting gnats that seem to only like the shade.
