As to where to eat? It's
hard to go wrong with
any of the great restaurants abounding both in
the Market district and the
blocks surrounding it.

FOR FAMILIES
WHO LOVE HIKING,
FISHING AND A BIT OF
SOLITUDE: ARCADIA - WEEKEND
Head north on I-81, take exit 168, drive back a few
miles into Arcadia and you'll find an outdoor paradise.
Take a fishing pole (and your fishing licenses) for
Jennings Creek and North Creek, both of which are
stocked with trout in season. Resist the temptation to
stop at the first big swimming hole you see and probe
a little deeper, and you'll be rewarded with a slew of
good spots.
Plan an overnight stay at the National Forest Campground (540-291-2188)on North Creek Road, either in
a tent or RV (there are no hookups for the latter), or up
the road at the The Natural Bridge Park Historic Hotel
(naturalbridgeva.com; 800-533-1410), and you can really explore. Hike the Apple Orchard Falls-Cornelius
Creek loop, and plan to watch the sunset from the aptly
named Sunset Fields pull-off up the mountain on the
Blue Ridge Parkway.
For a restaurant-cooked meal, explore the small town
of Buchanan just to the south, or head a little bit farther
north and grab a burger from the Pink Cadillac Diner
(pinkcadillacdineronline.com, 540-291-2378) in Natural
Bridge.

FOR BARGAIN-LOVING FAMILIES: STARLITE
DRIVE-IN THEATER AND GOLDEN HILLS
DISC GOLF COURSE - DAY
28 JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2015
Every few years, fear strikes that Christiansburg's Starlite Drive-In Theater (starlitedrivein.info; 540-3822202) might close down for good. It hasn't happened
yet, and that's all the more reason to visit now. The
drive-in shows movies every Friday, Saturday and
Sunday through the summer, and although the films
appear only late in their runs, you can't miss with the
bargain prices - last year it charged $6 for adults, and
that's for a double-bill. Grab a meal at the snack bar
during the show, but be aware the Starlite accepts only
cash, and there's no ATM on-site.
Ahead of a night of movies, get out and throw some
discs around Golden Hills Disc Golf Course (montgomerycountyva.gov/content/1146/98/165/1837/2819.
aspx), one of the few 37-hole courses in the country.
