30. Can you say insta-appeal?!

VA AG was ready and waiting for this.

Tazwell County. I've been there. It's BF Egypt on steroids. Only surpassed in backwardness by Lee County. Nothing is as bad as Lee County. West Virginia perhaps, but it's close. The landscape is gorgious. The people on the other hand.
