i am not sure where that is but i am sure my father does. clintwood was the nearest city to my fathers home town. they lived on nora mountain which to the day my grandmother passed she lived in the same house (shack) that my father was born in. there was no running water, electricity, and we had to use an outhouse. her house was up on stilts on the side of the mountain and when the train (behind her home) would come by, we would all run outside b/c we thought the house would fall down into the creek. my father was a coal miner up until i was born. most people dont get to see mountains like this area. it is so very beautiful to see.
