In the rugged, Appalachian Mountain state of West Virginia lies the tiny pinpoint town of Green Bank, Pocahontas County.

It’s a vast sea of vivid green, known as ‘Nature’s Mountain Playground’ but as you drive towards the 148 person settlement, it gets eerily quiet.

No radio stations play. The phone and wireless device is strictly limited. The whirring of microwaves is strongly discouraged.

It sounds like a yesteryear world, a far cry...
