Fall Foliage October 26 - 28, 2007 Gettysburg - Antietam
I "need" a road trip . . . how about you??? According to the "Visit
Pennsylvania" website:
SOUTHERN REGION (Counties south and east of a line through southern Monroe, Dauphin, Bedford and southeastern Somerset Counties.) Foliage condition at this time is: 100% Expected date to reach peak color is: Color should be at its best between October 25 and 29. Details:
The scarlet flair of Red
Maples completed the astounding advance across
the southeast this week, as did the yellows and purple hues of Ash and
Birch. Leaves have since been falling to the ground, sometimes looking
like orange-yellow flurries. There was an explosion of color 7 days
ago, due to the especially cold, damp nights we experienced. All
species dramatically expanded and brightened their reds, orange and
yellows. Best viewing is still found in the broad open valleys, as it
affords you views close at hand while seeing the rising beauty of
ridges in the distance. Though all portions of the region are equally
beautiful, State
Route 30 will give the best of all possibilities.

I just want to say how much I am looking forward to our trip. That said, i do not want anyone to feel obligated to participate in any activity. Each of us will want to do, see some things which may only be important to ourselves. If we have activities and times which coordinate GREAT. If not, that's cool too. I suggest we travel together (caravan),

| Gettysburg I "may" bring my bicycle to ride the Rebel-side of the battlefield. I will decide closer to our departure date. It will depend on "the" wife, my "bod" and the weather. If I ride i will probably leave around 7:00 - 7:30 and be "done" by 10:00 AM. |
