Scenic Corridor H

Corridor H is a new divided highway that runs along the northern tier of West Virginia from Davis, WV to Moorefield, WV. Eventually it may be upgraded to the superhighway, but for now it's a two lane divided highway with some at-grade intersections. While much of the highway passes coal mining areas, it also has some very scenic sections.

Sugar Grove, West Virigina

20 miles south of Brandywine in a very rural part of West Virigina is Sugar Grove. A traditional farming community, there isn't much here except for the NSA's now defunct Sugar Grove Listening Facility. Some nice farm country, traditional West Virginia buildings, a very small town.
