My goal this fall is to attend 11 football games, at 11 stadiums that I have never visited before. My first game will be Central (L) at Altavista on August 26.
I’m making it a day trip with my wife, so we will be stopping at a few places along the way. I’ll start the morning out headed west on Rt 40 coming out of Blackstone. We will make stops in Kenbridge, Victoria, Keysville, Brookneal, and Greta, before heading up to Altavista for supper and the game.
What are your suggestions or recommendations to stop and see along the way? And especially, where would you recommend stopping to eat. I figure we will be in the lunch mode somewhere around Keysville or Brookneal. Any recommendations? (Don’t recommend Sheldon’s in Keysville, it has changed hands is is nothing like it was.)
We like locally owned, simple places to eat and visit. So please share your recommendations.
We will want to eat supper in Altavista around 5:00, so what can you recommend there?
As far as the game goes, if last season has any bearing, Central will be a tough challenge for the Colonels. I’m not traveling to the places to see the best games, but rather to just see new places. And hopefully make new friends. So the outcome of the game is not important.
If you are going to be at this game and would like to say hello, I would love to meet you. You can send me a DM, or just say hey, meet me at such and such a spot at halftime or sometime.
I’m looking forward to my crazy little idea this fall, and I’m hoping to get some good suggestions from you good folks.
Thank you, DP
