Pit Stop Suggestions

Just went to Block Island today. Lots of nice color, and that's almost
directly south for me. Still a whole bunch of green and the only bare trees
I saw were around swampy areas.

Still some primo leaf peeping in New England.

Yep, you are right. While our back yard lost all of its leaves (including
some very colorful read and yellow ivy leaves) because of the wind, the
area in general still has a good percentage.

My earlier post was negative because fall, with the leaves still on the
trees, is my favorite season. I thought that storm would do it in
prematurely. Winter, with the purple-gray color of bare trees, is just
too
damn long up here.

I am afraid Springfield, MA is right in the crosshairs of this same storm.

Nuts. B-{

I'm leaving early Thursday morning for Albany for a week on business,
my very first time ever in my life to get to see the northeast part of
the country, and was hoping to maybe rent a 172 or Warrior on Friday
afternoon or Saturday morning to see New England from the air. Not
only will I have to suffer the indignity of flying commercial up there
from Houston, but looks like a weekend of crummy weather too before I
have to spend all next week cooped up in an office building, then have
to fly back home with no other chance to do any sightseeing.

Don't give up. There's a lot of leaves hanging on.

Barnes Municipal (BAF) is right nearby. I know they have a restaurant on
the field, but it was closed the one time I've been there (a Sunday
afternoon). Has some good reviews on airnav.com. It's a nice place to
land, in any case.

Anyone have suggestions for a nice place to land and eat near Springfield,
Mass?
My wife says there's a nice airport with lunch counter at Hadley, but I
can't
find it in my tools. We're planning to make a leaf run Thursday.
