George's Virginia River Badge Drop

Twenty-nine Virginia state parks you can reach by paddle, and I still find wrappers at the put-in. Take the New from Austinville, near five miles back to Foster Falls. Want flat? Holliday Lake, one hundred nineteen acres in Buckingham State Forest. Want wide and windy? The Potomac, where the Capt. John Smith Water Trail teaches you tides whether you asked or not. Virginia says clean it, drain it, dry it: vegetation off the boat, bilge plug open before you leave the launch. Virginia's lineup is three tees, a muscle tank, a crop tee, and three full-color caps. Paddle On. Only You Can Keep The Rivers Clean. — George
