Fall foliage at Lynchburg RV Campground nearby the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway
When the pandemic first hit, everyone ventured outdoors for fun. Now, as places have opened up, there are plenty of people who still prefer the outdoors, while keeping a safe distance from others. (Who could blame them? The outdoors is the place to be!) That’s just fine but that means wherever you go outdoors, you’ll probably find a lot of other people with the same idea. Another option to enjoy the fall colors this season is to take a colorful a drive. This way it’s just you, your travel companions, and the great outdoors enjoyed from inside your vehicle.
