That's fabulous. So that's what fall looks like in other parts of the county.

Thanks -- it was certainly beautiful.

The pants, by the way, belonged to neither of us...

I was gonna ask, but having been the victim of a blow-out myself, I figured it might be a sensitive subject :icon_lol:

Beautiful photos!  The Sods is one of my favorite places in the east for backpacking.  I've hiked there all seasons, and in winter you can easily get a couple of feet of snow.  If I can get my old slides digitized, I'll post a few sometime, although they wouldn't measure up to yours.

It's been a long time since the last time I've been up there. I went to college in central KY, so we occasionally made runs to WV (the Dolly Sods, Cranberry WA, Spruce Knob). Absolutely beautiful place and gives the feeling of being up in the boreal. Thanks for the pictures and fall colors.
