Heading down from Norwalk, CT to Charlottesville, VA to see an old friend. I will arrive on Aug. 27th and be back home by Sept. 6th. We're both active 30 yr. olds with a sense of adventure. I want to see things I wouldn't be able to see in my area (so the zoo, baseball game etc. are generally off limits). Random things that popped into my mind are:
Demolition Derby:

Weird roadside attractions:

Whitewater Rafting
Horseback riding
Car Camping
County Fairs
Scenic Areas/Day Hikes
Major Cities and their attractions/nightlife.
We're willing to travel a ton, so don't hesitate to recommend something a little out of the way.
Any ideas?
