But it hasn't worked out too well the last year or two.
Last year, an unplanned construction project forced me to basically ignore all of foliage season. This year, the weird weather and poor color has made me consider cancelling my trip for the second year in a row.
The color is looking up now here in the Bennington area, and so I am once again thinking of going "somewhere". But it's hard to figure out where that "somewhere" should be. It's very hard to get any honest, reliable assessments of color, since many people are .. for the lack of a better term .. "easily impressed", and the "official" reports are aimed at getting tourists to go to their states and so tend to not be objective.
My two main places for consideration this year were coastal Maine or the southern tier of NYS from the Finger Lakes west.
Anyone have any ideas on these or other places I might consider? Thanks.
