bomb shelters under the resort in Wintergreen, WV.
Wintergreen is in Nelson County, VA; you are confusing it with the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulpher Springs, WV. :dontgetit
You didn't know they switched the resorts? You have to keep up with these things. They had a hard time moving those tunnels, but once they got them on the trucks, it was a breeze. In fact they moved them so Jerry and family could get there quicker. :D

ah, u know about the warpigs too? lol...

u must be old school.

from what i understand, they kept things pretty exciting up there at night...

and yes, the old nuke shelter was at the greenbrier in WV. but im sure it had been given up as far as actual use before the story broke about it.

as far as towns that dont exist, there is one in VA. its called "valleyville"

please tell me that you are joking with that site.


edit: ha, that's the first time I've ever read the emails at the bottom that he's posted. I don't know how some people make it all the way through life.

Yes, the website is a joke, but it makes for some funny reading.

I'd really like to hear more about "Billy Boy, The Incontinent Indigent of Southport Mall".

as far as the troll of Dreaming Creek, i grew up on Dreaming Creek (the rd., not the creek...lol) never seen or heard of the troll until that website, and i lived 1/4 mile from the actual creek for like 12 years...

but there is a cool story about how the creek got its name :D

oh, and i HAVE seen the kool-aid car...lol (just not sure how all that sugar doesnt destroy his engine...)

The difference is, you grew in wisdom and maturity, as we all should do going through life.

I mean if I didn't look back at myself 14 years ago as someone who still had so much to learn then something would be wrong. I sure hope 14 years from now I will think the same thing about my current self. So...sure?
