Adirondack Fall Colors!

Maybe the last long-ish ride of the season - for me anyhoo! As it gets colder and colder, my rides get shorter and shorter, cause I really don't like being cold. Can't hack it. The older I get, the worse that is. I think 20 years in Phoenix has ruined me for winter sports!

Coming from Lowville, took Stillwater/Big Moose to 28, to 30 to Speculator, had lunch at Speculator, then down 8 to 10 and picked up Piseco Road...Wikkid Cool road!

Out at 29A, then followed my nose Northwest towards home. Had a ball getting lost on these little back roads...the sights were just amazing! Military Road seemed to be my theme as I kept running into it. Other roads would wind up as seasonal roads and completely leaf covered, so it looked like no-one had been on them in months...then I'd come out somewhere and go, "Aha!".

I've yet to get on Google maps and figure where I was, but I will and that will be the basis for the next ride.

Great Day!!

Hey, Nice shots, man. Great fall colors. Makes me miss Colorado even more than I normally do.

Appreciate you taking the time to share them. Well, except for the old cars; my heart weeps for the Bel-Air.

Great photos Chuck. Good thing you're not here, or you would never have been able to take them.

Just beautiful. The country and the photos. But the shot with the '57 Chevy sure looks like East Texas to me.

Just gorgeous scenery and colours, not sure about the one with the cars we have been using www.motowhere.com to plot our routes, can download to GPS - or at least he can, gadgets and me aren't necessarily friendly.
Thanks for sharing.
