Time stands still in the mountains. Yet the state of West Virginia doesn ' t. A progressive attitude in the Mountain State is giving the land of bare feet new hope. Rich in natural resources, West Virginia is growing by leaps and bounds. This new hope is seen from the beautiful capital city of Charleston to the coal mining towns in Boone County, from the tri-city metropolitan area of central West Virginia to the untouched Monongahela National Forest. Rivers, such as the South Branch of the Potomac and the New River, run wild and free while others, like the Ohio, Kanawha and the Monongahela, carry materials to industrial hubs across the United States. Country roads carry the people along mountain ridges to rendezvous with nature while modern interstates make movement between the state ' s largest cities fast and easy. Mountain women still hold quilting bees to manufacture age old products while large factories turn out goods used around the world. West Virginia — a land of ancient beauty and yet the hope of the future.
