November in Pennsylvania

     We are in Greencastle, PA visiting our daughter and her family for Thanksgiving.  We arrived on Monday and got our rig parked and hooked up.  The weather has been rainy and temps in the low 50’s.   We have spent the evenings with Barbee, Wes and granddaughter Becky.  It is hard to believe that she is in her last year of high school.  It is nice to be able to sit down and catch  up on things happening in their  lives.

As we have been traveling the last couple of months  we have been watching the leaves change color all across the country.  We have seen some very beautiful colors.  We have not been able to get pictures of all of them.  This is a small sampling of autumn in parts of the country  not mentioned in tourist magazines.

Greencastle, PA Lots of pretty leaves, but most of them are on the ground.  I remember they have to be raked.  That’s why I like this life style  - no raking.  Some of these trees  look like the leaves all let go at one time.  We would drive by one day and the leaves were on the tree the next day all on the ground.

Along the road in the Yukon here the birch are turning in early September.  The horses are wild, and are often seen along the road.
