Fall
To all you state-side.. where is your favorite place/activity in the Fall? I'm trying to accomplish two things here, find good places to shoot some fall shots, and find something fun to do on the weekends near Canton, OH.

The New England fabled fall color is going to suck this year, due to the weather this summer.

A half hour west of Charlotte is Crowder's Mountain state park. I wouldn't drive farther than that because it's more of a hill really. There are a couple of one or two mile paths up to the top which are labeled strenuous but aren't. This keeps the crowds away. Or you can rock climb. Puts you 800 feet above the surroundings and you can see Charlotte on a clear day. Nothing too special but it gives me a little exercise and a quick nature fix once a week. I'm itching to go deeper into the Smokies, having just read Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods but I think I'll wait until my daughter is older so I don't have to carry her.
When I lived in Cumberland, MD I used to love riding my bike on the old C & O Canal tow path. It goes all the way into D.C. and in the other direction it follows old railway beds all the way to Pittsburgh. It was nice easy riding since it was so flat and you were safe from cars. |

A couple more. Very interesting lighting day what with the wind gusts and fast moving clouds.

Actually , it may interest you to know that 'fall' is a very old English term ; the word 'autumn' came later .
It is like that with many Americanisms . The American form is often a fossil not used by the British . ' Gotten' is another ex |

And these linguistic comings and goings are a constant enrichment on both sides of the Atlantic . |
