for the average american tourist, appalachia offers a dramatically richer, deeper, and more rewarding experience, culturally, aesthetically, and spiritual, than anything in the rocky mountains or western united states.
can you be racist there?
>>2899324I've had two neighbors so far who had racist flags/decals on their property. And that's just in one trip.
>>2899324Everyone is racist but everywhere you go you see white single moms with little black sons and not a black adult in sight. There are more black kids than white kids.
>>2899337absolutely not, there's certain areas with blacks, and some without blacksbluefield, va has a ton of mixed race peoplemullens, wv ~ 60 mi away, does notand its not mostly dark blacks, its more mixed people, southern WV has a lot of light skinned blacks
>>2899337>Everyone is racist but everywhere you go you see white single moms with little black sons and not a black adult in sight. There are more black kids than white kids.A-Appalachiasisters?? Our response??
>>2899367its like 10-20% black in the worst parts which is nothing compared to baltimore or atlanta or new orleansit's more mixed people than blacks, and again, that's some areas not otherslarger towns with closer access to major rivers and railroads will have more blacks generally
>>2899337>>2899345>>2899370This is totally fucking unacceptable and OP fucking KNOWS it. Sundown towns or fucking nothing.Muh appalachia my fuckin ballsack. I don’t wanna see one fuckin chimp in the midst
>>2899374>Muh appalachia my fuckin ballsack. I don’t wanna see one fuckin chimp in the midstIndiabros?? We are SO fucking back!
>>2899378I visited Indiana, the part that borders Kentucky, and its basically Appalachia too, and I was intrigued and want to go back.
>>2899345Try visiting the hilly parts of Pennsylvania. Every woman goes to Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, or Harrisburg, gets knocked up with some genetic diversity, then goes back home to let meemaw and pappap raise the little hellspawn.
>>2899399>Every woman goes to Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, or Harrisburg, gets knocked up with some genetic diversity, then goes back home to let meemaw and pappap raise the little hellspawn.Fuck off, Singaporejew. What do you have against Appalachians? I'd rather be a half black christian appalachian than a sinkie or a euro. Europe is 90% full black anyway.
>>2899438>I'd rather be a half black christian appalachianThe eternal christfag strikes once again. This is what worshipping a jewish man does to your country.
>>2899438Libtards get propagandized to hate the Appalachians on NPR, the NYT, Washington Compost and CNN. It's the last white area in the united states and still has honor culture. It all started with JFK touring the area in the 1960s and his plans to save it (ruin it) with the TVA, (or even the 1930s when Roosevelt stole millions of acres and dispossed thousands of families that had lived there for centuries self sufficiently). The "people" seething in this thread are just mindlessly responding to decades of programming that control every fiber of their being
>>2899452I'm Appalachian from PA. Each time I go home, I see more niglets. There were 0 in the 90s. It's grim. Plus everyone does fentanyl these days and the whole area is hopeless.
>>2899463I dunno, there are definitely black parts of pa, but there's a lot where there's just basically no blacks like between say sullivan county in the east and potter county in the west, not a lot
>>2899463You incels are the problem
>>2899481women are holes, with no additional value
>>2899319This is absolutely untrue, and you know it. The Rockies are superior for visitors in every conceivable way. Only the White Mountains of New Hampshire even come close to the grandeur of the West. However, eastern mountain people are quirkier and more interesting to talk to then the generically prosperous and coolly polite white people of the Rocky mountains. The California Sierra foothills and PNW coast range towns have their share of oddball characters if that's what you want. Summer weather in Appalachia versus the Rockies? It's not even a competition. The West gigamogs with its warm sunshine and brisk dry air. Appalachia has much less habitat variety than the West. 90% is a uniform blanket of deciduous green. Here you can cross a dozen distinct habitats in a two mile walk.
>>2899452Nah, we've actually been there and seen the regions where outside money (tourism or Forest Service investment) hasn't spruced things up. It's gross. Trash piled everywhere, ratty trailers, obesity, single moms, zero fitness culture, alcoholism and drug abuse, scowling faces, rudeness, everyone is suspicious and distrustful because of how fucked the social fabric is.
>>2899495Don't listen to this loxist jew. He hates white people and loves the rockies because it has more spics.
>>2899495OP posts bait in every thrrad,just ignore him or try to bait him back. I posted a reply in another thread yesterday and he made this cope thread.
>>2899505It's very noticeable that he never tells stories of his excursions through Appalachia, only endless shillposting and the occasional stolen photo.>>2899500I'm traveling and sharing my genuine day to day experiences both past and present...you're regurgitating brainrot propaganda, memes, buzzwords and stats you read online like all the other homebodies clogging up this board.Native American admixture is based. The vast rugged landscapes of the American West are based beyond belief. Your squawking from the sidelines is cringe.
>>2899604You're copeposting from a flyover IP>Native American admixture is based.Fucking kike.
>>2899604lol wat nobody here cares about my stories don't pretend you do my pictures are not stolen either I have stories upon stories.
I've traveled extensively all over the US. I wouldn't rank any area of Appalachia in my top 50 for places to visit. For hiking and outdoors, the western US is infinitely better.
>>2899644I've traveled extensively all over Singapore. I wouldn't rank any area of Singapore in my top 50 for places to visit. For hiking and outdoors, the Appalachian hills are infinitely better.
>>2899611If more people posted original content, the board would be less of a tardfest. Tards are always spotted by their complete lack of original thought. Like that picture of the Asian girl holding the face of some white boy. It's been reposted 50+ times despite being wholly irrelevant to any travel discussion. Top tier incel tard bait.>>2899644The waterfalls of Transylvania county in NC are worth visiting if you like rushing water. But I agree, so much of Appalachia is one big trailer park full of fat welfare collectors whose idea of outdoor recreation is riding ATVs through the mud.
>>2899737We get it you hate the Appalachians because it's whites living there
>>2899737>If more people posted original contentpeople are just gonna troll me nobody here really cares where I go it's just a waste of time and the file size limits are so low I can't even post videos without making them really blurry
bump
>>2899644I've lived in PA and southeast Ohio my entire life. There are places worth visiting on the weekend or as a day trip, but I can't imagine someone traveling from far away and spending a week in fuckin West Virginia or whatever. Just retarded 4chan contrarianism
>>2900608that's all I ever do, except not just WV that would be boring I rotate the areas
>>2900608Last 80 years in USA is people doing everything they can to get away from blacks. Going to Appalachia is the final frontier unless you leave the country
>>2900646smokies have some blacks but like they are well behaved generally at least the ones ive seen i mean its not that there are no blacks they still happen in larger towns and cities but they are not everywhere the way they are in some larger cities
>>2900646>Going to Appalachia is the final frontier unless you leave the countrytoo many mulatto babies. PNW is better
>>2900704Pnw is libtard central, nightmare fuel, they basically stopped enforcing most laws because it's racist n sheeeeit
>>2900730>Pnw is libtard central, Translation: pussy is free>nightmare fuel, Translation: saw some boogie man memes on fox news and /pol/>they basically stopped enforcing most laws because it's racist n sheeeeitTranslation: anarcho-capitalist paradise, true Wild West vision of modern america
>>2900735its too cold thothe actual mountains are socked in by snow from nov-jun
>>2900735>Just get stabbed and robbed by junkies in Oregon, no biggie Why are libtards like this?
>>2900993central oregon seemed much more methy than most of appalachia
>>2899319Appalachia is only interesting if you enjoy poverty porn and think traveling to third world shitholes is fascinating and enriching.
>>2901010literally 80% of people here travel to poor SEA shitholes to get jerked off
>>2901011>literally 80% of people here travel to poor SEA shitholes to get jerked offprojection
>>2900993Imagine being actually scared of another man. You sound like a woman
>>2901011At least those women have a full set of teeth and aren't obese.
>>2900994True. Easterners prefer downers not uppers. >>2901011Ever heard of winter? We escape the dreary gray cold to go someplace warm and sunny and full of life.>>2899319Can the southern reaches of Appalachia be effectively explored by bus starting from Atlanta? Or are you stuck hiking the AT? Barring tropical storms, late summer and early autumn are the best time of year to be a vagabond in the eastern mountains.
>>2899319The nature is pretty but there is cooler nature other places. It's good if you have a family farm or something there just to be left alone, but all the women are obese or drug addicts, and the "culture" that is left is just single mothers with their half black kids. Also like this >>2901010 anon said it is like poverty porn in a poor country, but without the cheap whores to jerk you off like this >>2901011 anon said. It's really only good to have a farm and be a sexless hermit in the mountains.t. Spent large portions of my life in Appalachia
>>2901036no definitely not meth fucks your teeth up in oregon as anywhere else>Can the southern reaches of Appalachia be effectively explored by bus starting from Atlanta?eh I think there's like one state park you can get to by bus but just like rent a car, you aren't that far from stuff in Atlanta
>>2901075Finding a farm to work and live on sounds interesting. Reckon I'd have to pay for one of those workstay subscriptions in order to connect with the hosts...>>2901116Nope, renting a car takes away the adventure of going places, makes everything too easy. You just turn a key, burn up some gas money and then you're there. On top of a mountain in your air-conditioned protective bubble without even getting off your ass. The geography hardly matters at all. The people you pass by are blurs behind windows, nothing more. You don't even notice their presence.>>2901010Some of the world's most diverse deciduous forests along with bountiful water resources and birdsong melodies are appealing in their own right. Towns are more desolate than anything. It's not poverty like the teeming slums of Manila or Rio; it's weathered abandonment of antiquated structures and the strange atypical characters left behind in such places while all the normies headed to the city for college and career.
Jeezus, people aren't joking about Appalachia having literally no public transport. Not a single passenger bus stops in Chattanooga, one of the largest cities in southern Appalachia. Even the Greyhound Atlanta to Cleveland line blows right through the entire region without stopping once. Google Maps only shows Lyft as an option for visiting cities like Dalton, GA or Bryson City, NC.
>>2901329I find it hard to believe there's no inter-city bus to Chatt. Maybe a private one and not like Greyhound or something. flix bus or a lesser name. There is in-city transit like I know Boone has buses esp. cuz its a college town. I have seen like inter-town buses in rural appalachia but they probably only run once an hour and good luck timing it. You get that its all owned by Republicans who view public spending as the devil, yeah?>Dalton, GAum i think that's where marjorie taylor greene is from>>2901325oh there's poverty and slums its just more like a holler filled with trailers and some of them look more abandoned than others and whether someone ACTUALLY still lives there is hard to discern just from looking
>>2901441There are shuttles for seniors and disabled operated by many counties even in the reddest states, but you have to call and set up a ride a few days in advance. They are not intended for non-resident travelers moving onward.Some of Appalachia is really gentrified. Western NC in particular. But I'd hate for my entire travels to be reliant on the whims of kind strangers who stop to give me a ride.
>>2901584No they have normal buses in some appalachian towns and cities but they probably just don't run very often. Its not just a dial-a-ride thing though in all places, it is pre-scheduled service at a regular interval. And the most popular trails do sometimes have bus shuttles to them, like McAfee knob near roanoke has a shuttle to the trail from town. But really you are missing out on a lot of appalachia without a car.
>>2901610Amtrak Cardinal seems a good way to visit WV as a foot traveler. Station timings from Cincy are pretty good for stopovers. Can't decide on which way to go once I leave east Texas. One option is to visit the Mississippi Delta on the Amtrak City of New Orleans, then go Memphis, Nashville and Cincinnati before boarding the Cardinal to visit West Virginia, eventually making my way down to the North Carolina Piedmont for a family visit. Seems more interesting than riding the Amtrak Crescent straight from Louisiana to NC, cutting through some of the most cookie cutter generic parts of the Southeast.
what a strangely controversial place
>>2901610>Lazy poors miss out on lifeTruth nuke
>>2899319agree
>>2899319this board is so dead. you guys are such losers honestly.
>>2905851sorry what?
what a comfy place
>>2906142sure is
>>2900993Did you try laying down before you got stabbed? That tends to make the stabbing easier.
>>2906321Lots of tourists to Portland end up like thishttps://x.com/kevinvdahlgren/status/2091578448976425198
This is a lot more tempting than a visit to Appalachia desu
>>2906532You are only going there because you are poor
>>2906301That's neat. You think it's better than Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park?
>>2906580yes, if you want different shades of green glacial landscapes are chromatically uniform you will never get the richness of yellows, light and dark greens you get in springtime in Appalachia
>>2906600"glacial landscapes are chromatically uniform">posts a dismal depressing photo
>>2906552nah appalachia is a cringe meme on this faggot filled bored outside of this cesspool of fat white neets no one gives a fuck about the white trash mecca of appalachia you fucking idiot>>2905931dumb ass
>>2906766>nah appalachia is a cringe meme on this faggot filled bored outside of this cesspool of fat white neets no one gives a fuck about the white trash mecca of appalachia you fucking idiotparts of appalachia are extremely beautiful if you like nature
>>2906916the people whining don't want nature, they want hookersthe funny part is they did have hookers during the logging boom, but that went away
>>2899644What would be the top 3 or so in your top 50?
>>2906600The California Sierra has a huge variety of mountain habitats that mog anything in the East. Yes you can find many different colors in the transition zones. >>2906552The Andean spine of South America contains some of the most dramatic and impressive landscapes on Earth, the seat of a mystical ancient empire. Affordability is a great bonus for an extended trip. I like spartan little guesthouses or hostels tucked away on rustic village streets much more than the generic roadside motels with their oversoft beds and fat white people driving cars around. And yes, I like being around short brown indigenous people who are gentle and peaceable (if not entirely trustworthy).
>>2906992>dude just pay a thousand dollars or more for a flight >And yes, I like being around short brown indigenous peopleI like being in whiteville>go to appalachia>enter new town>there are brown people>escape as quigly as possible>flee to a new location
appalachian folks are less autistic and rule-bound than the swiss
>>2906532>operated by Are A JeetBad try indian scammer
>>2906996Come on now, I paid $153 for my flight to South America including baggage. That's the cost of two nights in a shitty motel next to the interstate. How the fuck can you call yourself a traveler if you hate being around people who are different from you? That's the whole point of travel. You might as well stay inside like all the other timid hypersensitive autist cucks on this site.
>>2908189>browntown>That's the cost of two nights in a shitty motel next to the interstate.learned my lesson when I last-minute stayed at a motel 6 (which are fine honestly except the towels are ruff), but it was right off the highway and the beds rumbled when trucks would go past at 75 mph
>>2908189You're poor. Everything you do is because it's cheap. Even pretending to like brown midgets because you are stuck with them because you are lazy and poor
>>2908456Woah, somebody on 4chan who hates handing money to jews, faggots and politicians? What a shocker! This privileged middle-class burger life disgusts me. Row after row of taxcattle stalls hogging up the whole landscape and forcing nature to retreat to the fringes between lots. My mom lives alone in a house with four bathrooms and three showers. Room after room full of knickknacks and gewgaws. Tanks of gas burned every week on goofy little trips. It's ridiculous. To think that I was supposed to grind away for Mr. Goldberg my whole life to achieve this taxcattle status. And people actually think that being one of these generic and instantly forgettable mutt NPC homeowners is something to aspire to, just because it's what everyone else is doing. They all think they are somebody great and special and important just for doing as they are told. What a clown world. All these lazy obese people who think their obedience and compliance is a virtue. Meanwhile I choose the difficult path as my own path, staying lean, owning little and seeking out the parts of the world that haven't been corrupted by all this disgusting piggish affluence with its clean aesthetic facade.
