I really thought I would hate the place but I didn't. . .Gorgeous scenery, decent outdoorsy-like activities at cheap rates, low population density, friendly locals (for the most part), and very affordable. There are downsides- lack of real culture, lack of any real restruants, the sheer hick factor, and the tolls on I-77 are just irritating. But worth a look for anything involving the outdoors. . .
