We drove into Vermont under a bower of yellow, orange and red to spend the day “leaf peeping.” To prepare our taste buds, we stopped for wine tasting at Honora Winery. The wines were quite good, probably because the grapes came from Paso Robles, CA.
Our search for ever better photographs took us 2400 feet up to the Mt. Hogback Lookout, through charming Jacksonville and Wilmington, and along the Harriman Reservoir (aka Lake Wilmington). Locals recommended dirt roads and we complied. The color is at near peak, meaning not a lot of red. A summer of rain and the current cold spell are accelerating the changes. Our only complaint was that our California blood is chilled by the sudden drop in temperature. That will probably mean a shopping trip for some warmer things to wear (oh dear).
