[at-l] Hinkin' and Fall Color Trip Report

[budjasa at yahoo.com (john sob)]

I was in central Vt. for the weekend, the leaves are a week to 10 days behind typical seasons. They need a killing frost to get things moving. On my way home I detoured and went up Moosilauke,  temps in the 70's, some color on the eastern slopes but certainly not peak. The  ct. valley to the west is still green.

Ah, Old Forge. I worked right near there one summer. Now I'm all 
nostalgic about the trails up there. Skinnydipping in Sis and Bub 
Lake, putting tiny wild strawberries in my water for flavoring, 
running into bear and deer constantly, watching the aurora borealis 
flame silently in the middle of the night.. Pretty up there.
