Outdoor Gear
When I was growing up in the suburbs of Washington, DC my family did a lot of camping, fishing, hiking and general outdoorsy stuff. The Northern Virginia area on down into the Blue Ridge Parkway region is absolutely lovely any time of year and you’d be a fool not to take advantage of the activities afforded to you.
We did a lot of shopping at one particular chain of outdoor gear stores. The chain is facing a lot of trouble, as I hear it, and closing locations in the DC area. I’m in Florida now anyway, and the specialty stores in the area cater more to the outdoor activities one would engage in here…, so not much in the way of super warm jackets or sleeping bags.
My dad has a place he built on the banks of the Shenandoah River and my best bet when I am buying him gifts is still to buy outdoor gear. Thankfully, I can order things like North Face jackets and gloves online at retailers such as Rocky Mountain Trail. They carry absolutely everything someone who enjoys the outdoors would needs, and the best part is that since they are located in Colorado they understand the gear you need in cold weather.
