Yeah, I have a feeling it is going to be a great fall. I'll live vicariously through you guys (i.e. resentment flowing like maple sap on a warm March afternoon) and shoot for next year. I have hit bad weather three years straight so this will be the year the streak would have been broken. Going to try and compensate by hitting Hocking Hills State Park and Cuyahoga Valley National Park instead (I can get up in the middle of the night and be where I want to be for sunrise so a bit more workable for day trips).
Hocking Hills has some interesting topography and is frequently mentioned as a good fall destination:

And CVNP was listed by the national Park Foundation as a top ten NP for fall colors so it should be good.
Is it obvious that I am trying to sell myself on this...
Yeah, I bring it up every now and again but, if we were to move, it would be somewhere like Boston, Harford or NYC. My career has been in running small to very large investment operations groups (public pensions, insurance companies, asset managers, etc...) and my wife is an actuary so, realistically, we will need to be in a larger city. Now, if the state of Vermont ever needs a new state actuary and a new director for its public employees pension fund at the same time, I will be all over it!
Well, either that or you lot coach me into being a Pulitzer prize winning landscape photographer!
Cannot wait to come up and meet you all but sad it won't be this year. Of course, I'd have been conflicted if I had come up with leaving Kelly with a baby and a toddler. Next year, the two of them wil be a bit more controllable or able to come with.
Have you tossed around any further ideas of moving to New England?
