    Autumns here, the air is getting colder, leaves are turning color and camping season is winding down (at least for us)

    We've got one more trip planned for Odetah in CT. B) Looking forward to some cool crisp nights to enjoy the fire, fishing, shuffle board,mini golf and playing cards with my boys! Now all I need now is some good karma for the weather! :rolleyes:

    Any one else have plans for this upcoming holiday?

    Hope everyone has a fun, safe camping weekend! :D

    We are going to a campground in southern Vermont, our last campout to say our goodbyes for 2009. Hoping for clear weather so we can enjoy the fall colors of the leaves.........

    I'd rather be camping Columbus Day weekend, but instead will be staying in a hotel in Ocean City, Maryland enjoying the Endless Summer Cruise In.

    Hope everyone has a nice holiday weekend regardless of what their plans are!

    Working on winterizing the camper... :(

    Just got back from our last trip for the year, Halloween Weekend at Wolf's Den. We had a good time, but it was rainy. Tough to trick-or-treat in the rain. Actually had to use the furnace in the camper on Friday night! Love this time of year... cold, crisp mornings and evenings, warm afternoons. Fall is the best time of year in New England.

    Have fun!

    We are heading south for the Texas Gulf coast to attempt to stretch out the summer/fall for a little while longer.

    We're currently in southwestern Iowa, watching the leaves turn and waves of migrating songbirds pass through. Absolute mobs of robins bouncing around the acres of grass at our current location. Been hearing the geese gathering at local farmponds in the crisp evenings.
    That full moon has been enormous as it rises over the horizon!
    Corn and soybeans are turning golden and when it stops raining I'm sure the harvest will go into full swing. This corner of the state has not had the 'fall kick-off' overnight frost yet, however the trees are turning!
    Enjoy!

    OK...
    It SNOWED in south western Iowa last nite!! Hello!!!
    Apparantely broke an October 10th weather record: measurable snowfall for this neck of the woods.

    So the sun broke through and melted roughy 3 inches (not a fish story here) by late afternoon. Put the harvest in remission for a couple days. Yikes!

    Does make for snuggling, good stew and red wine weather!!!

    Cheers!
