>>2007320>The only truly remote parts of Appalachia are up in New York and New England.Are you suggesting the highlands of West Virginia are not remote?
Sure, it may not be as empty as the west in parts but it is still very remote in some areas and you are very far from a big city in much of central appalachia.
There's hundreds of miles of nice trails in the highlands of West Virginia alone (which doubtless you have never been to).
It isn't very populated at all in much of western maryland, central and northern/northwestern pa, or far south western virginia.
It isn't exactly empty but it is highly rural and there are plenty of secluded mountainous areas and wilderness type environments.
>Why waste time discussing some shitty second growth forestbecause it isn't shitty actually the trees are very dense and lush and there are lovely clean creeks running through it that are a joy to explore.
there are a few patches of old growth that you can explore but why be monomaniacal about that?
