I just have to say it - WOW!
We arrived for a wonderful show. We must have hit the peak window, because it just kept getting better by the day. Thre were reds, orange, blazing yellows that made the forest look like sunlight had decided to just spotlight this one tree in gold for a breathtaking moment. Even the stately conifers lent solid evidence of the wilderness around, highlighting those brilliant hues with a somber elegant green.
But ... (you knew it was there ... just waiting) ... it was cold. Bone deadening cold. I think it even hit 40 one night we were there. That folks, makes my Floridian body quake with discomfort and fear the next cold snap here at home. If you are a relative of mine in WI or MN, save your ridicule ... you would wilt here on some summer days.
