Adventures in Foliage

With the days growing shorter and the smell of chill in the air, the maps have come out and I am hearing talk of a ROAD TRIP!!  We know how these two are about the foliage--a little obsessive I'd say.  But when cabins, woods, waterfalls and shorelines are involoved, I am happy to indulge them.  In anticipation, I have begun reviewing photos and memories from past trips.....someday I think we will decide the best foliage and only ever return there.  Here are a couple photos to refresh your memories:

First, there were the golden aspens of the Rockies...pretty sweet I thought:

And then there was the much ballyhooed foliage of the northeast, beautiful in a different way:

And now we are off to see foliage in our own back yard--a drive around Lake Michigan, going up through  Wisconsin (with our first sceduled stop a cabin in Door County), up and over the UP, and then down through Michigan.  I've heard talk of a quest for the Honeycrisp, waterfalls, ghost towns--the usual.  Counting the days down.  And so our journey continues, in search of the best foliage.
