Jeebers....Teleking had a 23o reading and his garden is gone....That's an out and out freeze....Over here on a warm side of a hill my temp was 30o but the thermometer is 8 feet up....Sheet over the tomatoes and peppers was enough...4 nights of frost....All is well.....Total color here and there....Stannard and Wheelock range are at peak...Love Fall....And this one is really good with wonderful color....TM

Week to 10 days early but we are at peak....It just exploded and it's mind boggling....Wicked color and have been taking my camera with me....Up to the Highlands today and will look at the under cover....Unless you live in hardwood forests you can't imagine, totally blows your senses away...TM

Hearing that some little amount of snow is on the way...I......will not be ready but the skis will...Figure they have last years wax on them and it should suffice....Even NO turns if that is probable will feel wonderful...SNOW!!!!! TM

6” off snow sounds great! Then I started thinking, 6” and still warm ground, lots of leaves, however no where enough leaves and snow to pad out those rocks!
Nice to hear you haven’t grown up enough to know better! I don’t want to get where I wouldn’t want to go for a slide either!

205 99's really "rocked".....Just a couple more dents but the two or three slight long turns was really good...Teleking scored two hundred verts and in those were a couple areas that opened into a small area where you could use speed and arc a couple....lots of fun....TM
