Stunner-Platoro autumn scenery--

We are privileged to live in a beautiful place. Perhaps it is never more beautiful than in late September and early October.

Two Fridays ago, Judy and I went there, just 25-30 miles south of South Fork. This past Friday, Rik and Kathy Smith from South Carolina went along. We were all impressed. For you who did not get there this year, these seven pictures give you some idea of what surrounded us on all sides for about 10 miles of driving and walking. I've only been here for ten years, but I rate this year's as the most spectacular leaf show I've seen here, in New Hampshire/Vermont, or in Indiana. Something about being surrounded by diverse bright colors lifts and thrills intensely.

It was certainly Plata and Oro and Stunning!
