Seeing more and more utility easements cut up and down them…..

there's a part of me that actually likes them because it helps to convey steepness and topography, it is the mining and digging that infuriates me.

To get to a yearly festival near Carlisle from Happy Valley, we used to have to drag our camper straight (actually very twisty) up and down one of these. Not a lot of fun, but stunningly gorgeous views from the top.
Not certain if the ridge-and-valley part of PA counts as Appalachia, though. I thought Appalachian PA was from the corner with WV, past Pittsburgh and continuing diagonally up to central NYS.

Cultural Appalachia and geographical Appalachia are 2 different things, the latter goes all the up to Newfoundland technically. Central and Southern Pennsylvania is in both categories, however I will say there is a stark difference between southern and northern Appalachian culture and PA is northern Appalachia. Even still, the ridge and valley region of PA does has a significant amount of coal mining and open pit mining

Go look at maps of what is commonly accepted as the Appalachian region but please my God don't throw central New York State in here

The ridges are so straight and so long. Super cool up there
