WARNING THIS IS A
LONG POST

Many years ago a young man named Chris Strong was introduced to us ( Larry and Theresa Akers) by a mutual friend! Chris had a booming personality and a dream of one day creating a touring business! He loves trail riding and wanted to offer rides to folks to explore the beautiful mountains and endless sites of West Virginia,Kentucky and Virginia! He asked us here at Back Woods Rentals if we could help him and offer clean affordable lodging for these rides! So together we all worked hard and Chris brought Coal Country Outfitter's LLC to life! All of us stand together and support each other! We are so proud of Chris! We are so excited that he has decided to move to West Virginia here with us and go full time! Glad we could help provide you with this golden opportunity! Chris we LOVE YOU and will always be here to stand by you (our son) and support you and looking forward to working with you daily! So therefore if anyone out there is looking for a great ride with a wonderful guide please reach out to Chris and Coal Country Outfitters LLC because you won’t be disappointed!
Now let’s get you moved so we can keep busy welcoming new folks and enjoying old and dear friends on these rides!
Once again CONGRATULATIONS Chris and keep living your dream! Larry and I think you have made a wonderful decision!!

Tonight we Larry and Theresa Akers and staff of Back Woods Rentals are saddened to hear of the passing of a wonderful friend and faithful customer Mike Chinsolo! He will be missed but not forgotten! Mike was well known in the riding community he loved it and had a zest for life! We ask all who knew him to please pray for peace and comfort for his daughter Angel Edward Thum and his grandchildren and great grandchild and other family as they mourn his passing! Much Love to all! We truly loved Mike and he and I celebrate the same birthdays as I will miss his message on my birthday telling me all great people were born on July 21! As I hold back the tears making this post as we are heartbroken it just so hard to believe you are gone! Mike will always hold a special place in our hearts! Goodbye to our dear friend! We won’t ever forget your bubbly personality and big ole smile! Heaven gained a great man!
