So, you have decided to take an Excursion trip. You have read our Lynchburg issue and have decided you would really like to see Sharp Top and experience Lynchburg's beautiful fall colors. Your significant other is ready for a weekend away, you have made a fresh batch of our Best Ever Fall Trail Mix and you are looking forward to a weekend away outside. But, other than clothes and toiletries, what should you pack? Here, I will give packing tips for both those of you who will camp out and those of you who prefer the comfort of a hotel.
No matter where you are staying in Lynchburg, you will want to bring rain gear. Lynchburg is beautiful, but known for having the occasional rainy day. Secondly, be sure to use an online map service (such as Map Quest) to map out your route and to print directions for the places you know you want to go, this could include trails, restaurants and the locations of different events on our calendar. As you are planning what you will do, make a list of gear you might need (appropriate shoes for hiking, water bottles, sunscreen, etc.) and then use the list to pack your backpacks. A packing list can save you from forgetting things and, in the end, save you valuable time and money on your weekend adventure! If you plan on taking pictures, be sure to grab your camera and some extra batteries, just in case! Last, but certainly not least, grab the issue of Excursion Magazine featuring the place you're going. Flip through it again in the car, and you may find something else you want to do or somewhere else you want to go!
