  1. Hype for the Future 131L: The Monongahela National Forest

    Introduction The Monongahela National Forest is a national forest located within the highlands of eastern West Virginia, just west of the section of the Blue Ridge Mountains that divides the area from the Commonwealth of Virginia to the east.

In comparison, the region around Philadelphia is flatter, so the […]
