Hill billies and mountain ranges

I report to the MTC August 14th for my mission in West Virginia.
Some things I've learned about that area so far:

1-Family is everything to them and they are CLOSE. So close, in fact, that they occasionally marry each other.

2-Mountains, green, animals, and all 4 seasons.

3-Hill billies. I'm convinced that at some point I will eat a raccoon.....

4-Population from largest to smallest; White, Native American, Asian, Pacific Islander, Other. WHAT?!?!?! Hispanic isn't even an option in this state. That is going to be very strange for me. So much for using and improving my limited Spanish skills. This girl is going to be speaking a LOT of English (I use the term English very loosely)

5-Walmarts. Lots and lots of Walmarts.

6-All the areas in my mission are VERY southern. Maybe I'll see some confederate flags posted to the back of trucks fitted with mud railings and a gun rack on the back.

7-I'm going to send you guys so many mullet pictures.
