In a break from our regularly scheduled programming about COVID-19, racism and riots, here’s a plug for Virginia’s state parks.
My wife and I enjoyed a getaway today at Powhatan State Park. The park has loads of well-maintained trails, suitable for walking, hiking, biking and horseback riding, that take you through meadows and forest and the banks of the James River. The skies were blue, the temperature balmy, and the butterflies were having a field day.
We were astonished to see so many horseback riders.
There are ramps for putting canoes and kayaks into the James. But after heavy rains a few days ago, the river was high, the current was fast, and we didn’t see anyone braving the water.
