The temps drop in the mountains and we have had some cooler fronts pass
through. For years, our peak time in ETN has been the second week in
October. Check out the apples in Asheville, usually delicious this time
of year. Think about Hot Springs, NC; not far from Asheville.

I found it interesting that farther south and lower elevations are 
having more color show. Since I am a plains person maybe this is normal 
in the mountains. Heading down the rest of the parkway today and hope to 
be on Asheville tonight.
