Dan, some friends and I are leaving central PA on October 18 or 19,
going to Owls Head, Maine, and then on to the Canadian Maritimes.

Any chance there will still be any color that late? We couldn't leave
any earlier.

The "rural legend" holds that Franconia Notch on Columbus's Birthday
is the largest city in New Hampshire. (It may no longer be true, now
that the Old Man of the Mountains fell down.) So October 11 is or was
considered a prime leaf time in northern New Hampshire. I should
think the Maine coast would would be later than the mountains.

Dunno what the foliage is like in that part of Maine. That's the Land
of the Pointed Fir. Hereabouts it's mostly white pine. But I suppose
you get plenty of hardwoods everywhere.

Nice museum at Owl's Head, too.


all the best -- Dan Ford
