October’s Virginia Living covers a lot of ground—and we mean a lot. Did you know that Virginia contains more of the Appalachian Trail than any other state? We take you on a couple of hikes on the AT—as well as an easier stroll, in another story, about Lynchburg’s Old City Cemetery. You’ll also visit the state’s peanut belt, down in the southeast, and you’ll go to the Bay as you read the comeback story of the striped bass. There’s also a visit with Smithfield Foods chairman Joe Luter III, and a profile of poet, literary biographer and “the queen of Scottsville,” Virginia Moore. All this and more, in the October Virginia Living.
