Smell that? Smells like... Fall.

Looking for something fall-ish to do now that the weather is cool and the leaves are starting to turn? Oh sure, throwing pumpkins and picking apples are always good activities, but you can do those anywhere.

An hour west of DC off I-66 near Front Royal is Shenandoah National Park. If you're a lazy fat ass like me and want to stay in your car, cruise along Skyline Drive, the 105 mile road that snakes through the entire length of the park. Or, if you're into that sort of thing, dismount the chevy and hop on the back of a horse, or, God forbid... Hike. It's a whopping fifteen bucks to get in per car, so Mexi-pack your Geo and get in cheap.

And heck, while you're all the way (all the way being 60 miles) into Virginia, why not make it worth your while and stop at a few wineries along the way. Find them here.
