Jerry Skinner of Lynchburg and Dale Wilson of Huddleston are among the other Virginians who'll compete in the FLW event at Beaver Lake. Skinner is coming off a 30th-place finish at the most recent FLW Tour event at Lake Murray in South Carolina. Prompted by mild spring weather, Blue Ridge Parkway officials have opened several facilities earlier than normal. In Virginia, the Otter Creek and Peaks of Otter campgrounds, along with the Peaks of Otter picnic area, opened Saturday. North Carolina facilities that opened over the weekend were the Linville Falls campground and the Julian Price Park campground and picnic area.
All facilities are open on weekends, but some remain closed during the week.
