Fall Foliage Trip

 


On Saturday, I took my mom on a drive around our area to show her some beautiful trees I'd seen as I've been out and about.



Here is a video of a local small neighborhood.


On Monday, we took Mom and Dad and went to Jim Thorpe to ride the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway. 

The drive to Jim Thorpe was about 2 hours and it was beautiful. The colors this year are a bit more muted. We've not had much rain this autumn and they said that in Jim Thorpe they are in a drought. 

The whole trip took about 45 minutes.




This wooden post is an old telegraph line!

I happened to catch the waterfall as we went by. Do you see it at the bottom of the photo below?



After the train we went to lunch and then drove around the area. It was perfect weather and just a lovely day out.

Our area should be at peak this weekend or close after that. Such a lovely time of the year.

I enjoyed the videos of Trump from this weekend. He was in Lancaster on Sunday, after working in McDonald's near Philly. Ended the day at the Steeler's game in Pittsburg. Let me tell you, Pennsylvania is Trump country!

Thank you for sharing the beautiful foliage in your area. We are very dry here too. Our color is mostly the sycamores and the maples. Everything else is brown. How fun to go on the train ride!
So excited that we are nearing the end of this election process and our president will be restored! :) Hope you have a great week!

This is so fun! My daughter lives in Delaware and we almost took a foliage ride on the Colebrookdale railroad but we found out about it too late and the weekend was booked. Now we're thinking about Christmas!
