June 11th of 2016 in the heated summer, there were one huge local event that everybody looks forward to and that is Hatfield and McCoy Marathon Run. They do Hatfield and McCoy Marathon Runs now and then, to my knowledge it’s once or twice annually as it is how many times I usually sees them but I could be wrong because I don’t know the entire schedules or the deal with Hatfield-McCoy Marathon. Hatfield and McCoy Marathon has always been one of the largest event in the heart of two counties which that is in Pike County of Kentucky and Mingo County of West Virginia. In Pike County, Ky they runs between Belfry to Blackberry and in Mingo County they runs in Williamson which is where the kickoff is and the finish lane is. Why these two counties with two different states you may ask? If you don’t know the history of Hatfield-McCoy feud then I am surprised because almost everybody know the history of them, nonetheless Hatfield-McCoy feud happens between the border of two counties, that is both in Pike County and Mingo County.

Yesterday my mother and I decided to drive out to one of my mother’s childhood favorite place so I could experience it myself as well. I love seeing historic places or any places that has history on them and Dingess Tunnel is one of them but many people have said that the Dingess Tunnel is haunted for several years although I haven’t seen any ghosts luckily because I am terrified of them. Dingess Tunnel is in southwest of West Virginia in Mingo county and the tunnel is somewhat long so if you ever decide to touch the Dingess tunnel be sure to take your time looking around inside the tunnel especially at both ends of the tunnel because the walls is somewhat amazing to me. When we went to the Dingess tunnel I decided to record a video so that all of you can experience what I was experiencing while going inside the tunnel in a vehicle so enjoy the video and I will be including a directions or map in case if you ever want to know how to get there. Click -> Map of Dingess Tunnel Thank you for watching the video and I hope that all of you have a great night. Be safe wherever all of you are at or be safe doing whatever it is…
