🏔 WV35 Weekend Update: “We Left the Holler… It Got Weird”
It started with a bad idea. Holler woke up, stretched, grabbed his coffee, and said the one thing nobody in the holler should ever say out loud: “Let’s go to the city.” Bandit Boone froze mid-sip. Slowly turned his head. “…You mean like… Charleston?” Holler shook his head. “Nah.

Not a big one… just a quiet little lie West Virginia tells you every weekend: “It’s gonna be a nice day.” Holler stepped out on the porch, coffee in hand, hoodie on, looking out over the ridge like a man who thought he understood the situation. Cool air. Little fog. Birds doing their thing. “Perfect,” he said. Bandit Boone was already sitting there… sunglasses on… drinking something that absolutely wasn’t coffee. Didn’t say a word. Just nodded like: “Go

Bandit Boone's Hilarious Easter Adventure in West Virginia
The Unexpected Easter Operation Well folks… This week started off like any other. But it quickly turned into a wild ride with a raccoon running an Easter operation. Yes, you heard that right.
