What's to do in Lynchburg VA

Arrived at the Lynchburg Thousand Trails campground yesterday (6/21) about 1 p.m. having traveled from Chesapeake Bay through Richmond to get here. Getting through Richmond from I64 to US360 was a challenge but we made it without much trouble. Rand McNally sent us on several parkways with tolls. They not only toll you to get on but also at the off-ramps. Will say nice roads though. Cost me $3.20 to make the transition. The rest of the drive was through very nice green rolling countryside. Set up in the campground went well. First time I had to back into a campsite. We had hand held walkie-talkies so Nelda could guide me in. She did fairly well; I only had to get out twice to see what she was talking about. After checking out the campground we decided to try the pool and the spa, but the water in the pool was cold and the spa was out of commission so we just hung out at the campsite, had tilapia and rice with a salad for dinner and retired early. This is probably the smallest of the TT campgrounds we have ever visited (out of 12 or more in 22 years). Very quiet in middle of week with no activity except kids in the pool (cold water doesn’t stop them.)
Today, after fixing us a pancake and bacon breakfast, we headed into Lynchburg about 20 miles NW of the campground. Went to the visitor center to find out what the major attractions might be. Not much. We took a look at historic downtown Lynchburg, which was similar to downtown Gadsden only bigger and hilly. Had coffee at the Commerce Center where booths are set up like an indoor flea market, drove through the cemetery and then headed out of town for Walmart to get some supplies. Here we are back at the campsite, Nelda working on her pictures which she got 1 hour development at Walmart and me writing this blog for uploading whenever I can get to an Internet access point. I am also preparing some more digital photos for my website. Did check email this morning. Had to go to Ranger Office to use their dial up, but they are only available from 9 to 10 a.m. and we will be gone by then tomorrow. Our cell phone has no signal in the campgrounds, so we can only call when on the road or in town. Understand that the Herndon’s are in their new house so we go there on Friday after stopping tomorrow night in Bristol, VA, near the Tennessee border. So much for now, more later, I’m sure.
