Good article in today's Washington Compost on old mining towns along the North Branch of the Potomac in Maryland and West Virginia, now abandoned.

Gonna have to work on that other part. 8) Almost tempted to do drive out there this weekend and do some poking around, but already had plans to be in southern West Virginia (McDowell County) this weekend. Next weekend though...

"Washington Compost"

Alright, who did that? :lol:
