Went for a ride to the Northeast Kingdom yesterday and this morning to see the Foliage, which is about peak up there. Best colors in years to my eye. Here's pics:

Very nice Bob. Nothing like that here of course. I so miss Canada in the Fall. But then that passes as I ride all winter long.
 Good to see you out and about on the bike. Any second thoughts ...??

The photos are even better now that I'm on the desktop with a big screen.
My two younger sisters are out there now to visit a Niece in Mass and one of my older sisters in NH. Sounds like they picked a good time for the visits.

That's a nice ride from where you're at. Beautiful country the NE Kingdom. We don't get up there very often as we usually run up through the Adirondacks from here. Thanks for the pictures.
Happiness comes not from what you have, but from enjoying all that you do have no matter how much or little that may be.
Bob - thanks for setting the good example. Currently in southern Ohio - colors pretty good, but about 7-10 days from peak.
Will be in running the Greenville SC area at the end of the month for some training, as I recover from last springs injuries and orhtopedic issues. Hopefully, the cool midwest weather won't accelerate the colors in the mountains there. Glad to see you are still giving the RS some exercise. Still for sale?

I was very surprised that there were almost no cars on the road. Seems leaf peeping is a thing of the past? I did have trouble finding a place to stay.

I'll be in Barre VT next weekend (driving the mighty 4cyl Tacoma), so I'll likely see New England foliage a bit off peak........

I am just waiting for the fall foliage here in Houston, but not holding my breath ... today it is 91 but the humidity is low ...

Right - leaf-peeping from a gas-guzzler on the road is now more expensive than sitting on the porch of the inn with drinks and food...?

I call that bracing...

That said - medium touring shield is on, warmer down bag is packed. Biting at the bit to follow Bob's good example in fall travel.
