Bolt Mountain, West Virginia | The BackWoods Drifter

It’s All In The Details - 2

Posted by Denny September 15, 2008

I think the phrase, it’s all in the details, would make a great state motto for West Virginia. I didn’t really want to use it as a title again but with this photo, I really couldn’t think of anything better.

Beautiful picture! Denny I have to say that this is a great website! I grew up in bolt and I know, how truly unique and special it is.
I have been in Louisville, Kentucky for 2 weeks and was getting a little home sick. I typed in Bolt Mountain on yahoo and your site came up.
Me and my brother in law Lenny did a little gensangin before I left and found quite a bit.”wish i was out there right now!!”
I signed the MTR petition and will proceed to have all my friends sign it. God help us if they make it to Bolt Mountain!!! Keep up the good work man :-)

Thanx Buzzy for the comment and signing the petition. I sincerely wish I could stop the blasting and wanton destruction tomorrow. They are already mining the foothills around Bolt Mountain.

Like a fellow said at the wind rally today - once you put up a windmill, you can always take it back down. Once you take down a mountain, it can never be put back up.

Thanx again and comment anytime.

btw - I love ginsenging. :)

What a beautiful blog! I stumbled upon it by accident today and have since been looking at all your wonderful pictures! I spend a great deal of my time taking photos of rural WV and I would love to put a link to you on my site/blog, roadmosey.com.

It was really nice seeing someone else with the same love of WV nature as myself.

I’ll be stopping back often…Sky

Thanx Sky :) It is a passion. There is a cool picture everywhere one looks. I would be lost in the woods without my camera. :)

Thanks for the link.

Denny, I couldn’t find the right section to answer a question of yours, I think the plant you were wondering about is called MULLEN. I’m not sure, mullen grows everywhere here in Southern WV. I might think it was comfrey if you found it near water. Mullen has fuzzy leaves but grows a middle stalk that can be close to 6 ft high and has little yellow flowers on it. It has some medicinal properties, but I can’t name any right now, I don’t remember them.

Thanks for the info Sherry. I’ve often wondered about that plant.

I apologize for the trouble commenting on that post. I have to close commenting on older posts to try and keep spam down.

Thanks again.
