Almost Heaven - West Virginia

written by: goodboring

Here's a quiz based on the song "Take Me Home, Country Roads". Much of it is based on West Virginia and that region. Then there are some questions concerning John Denver and the song itself. Good luck, y'all. (Actually much of West Virginia would go with "y'uns" -a contraction of you-uns- over "y'all".)
