Mr Flintstone,
For startrs, i call KY home.
I found my wife there, went to high school and college there, and make at least an annual pilgrimage to hunt there.
No offense truly intended, just being honest and a little blunt. I worked my way through college spending summers in the coal fields, i had to find different employment as a sr thanks to current policies and a war on coal and plummeting coal prices. I learned a lot about hard work and met some of the finest people on mtn top removal mines.
On an average i would say i do not like many of the people in the mountains, really just the 3rd or 4th generation welfare recipients who are happy living dirt poor on the governments (our) dime. It is much like an inner city, many of the same problems, and i would say i dont like most people in an inner city like Washington DC where i have also lived. Politicians have forgotten about the place, but for an outsider, the mountains of Kentucky are vastly different from anywhere else in the country.
Kentucky is a great place and if you can find yourself a few acres in the mountains you will have your own slice of paradise, just be sure to mark the property line well and make friends with your neighbors. If you are a hunter, there are more turkeys than you can kill and the deer get big, i killed a 230lb 3yr old buck a few years ago on a 200acre piece of land in clay county, not agricultural land. People are friendly, there is just not much money, the schools in the mountains are not good, and there is very little economic potential untless coal prices increase, it is rugged and difficult land to build. One day I will probably move back, and probably to the mountains.
