My sister lives in WV (Franklin) and has been there for several years after living across the state line in Harrisonburg, VA for many years. She had a lot of WV jokes that she had to give up now that she is one of them.

I've been down to visit twice in the last year or two and it certainly is "The Mountain State". Absolutely a beautiful area, but it's a long way to anything, and there is at least one mountain to go over to get there. Among the several stops along the sightseeing tour was Greenbank. That sucker us huge, and what was amazing is that they moved it while we practically standing next to it and you could barely hear it. Also went by Sugar Grove. According to my brother-in-law, it is becoming less Navy and more CIA (or some other agency). All your overseas calls to the middle east are probably monitored here. :-) He had done some work on the base with a local contractor and most of the operations are inside the mountain.
