September 30: To Austin, Pennsylvania

Foliage in Pennsylvania
Emporium, Pennsylvania

Mile 12,167 – Austin, PA.  Back in the Appalachian mountains.  A driving day where the scenery was enhanced by cloudscapes with towering cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds.  We had a downpour immediately followed by the most gorgeous, clear late-day sunshine.  The foliage here in Potter County, in north central Pennsylvania, has started but not peaked yet.  The countryside looks fresh and dust-free.

October 1, we’ll be spending with P.J.’s sister Wendy and her husband, Al.  Tuesday, we drive home.
