Lots of sagebrush and Pronghorn antelope by the hundreds as the miles speed by. Photograhy out the side window at 60+ is hardly worth the effort.
Our first stopover is in Fort Collins to visit Paddy, Max and the doggies. We shop for Chachos at Sierra Traders in Cheyenne and then its back on the road heading east through Nebraska cornfields and winds so gusty (25-30 from the south - across the highway) that our German engineered RV keeps triggering the skid control warning. Deer and more deer at dusk.
On to Illinois - the trees are turning gold and orange here. More corn and legumes in the fields being harvested - the combines roll till after dark. Iowa is know for corn. White dusty gravel roads everywhere, with pickups kicking up long trails of dust. Lots of colour in the Sumac and and other trees and bushes that line the roads - a great place for farm shots but Fall colour is waiting and rural photos are ourt of favour. Toll road service plaza charges $20 for RV parking overnight - OUCH!
Up to the shores of Lake Erie on I-90 and we pass through Cleveland. Finally Pennsylvania and Fall colour. Ready for serious photo action but -- no sunlight - morning mist! We choose the slower Route 6 across Pennsylvania - lots of tiny towns and great views. The colour continues as we slowly make our way into New |York, Vermont and New Hampshire.
Today we will make it into Maine and maybe back into Canada as we head through New Brunswick on the way to Halifax.
Sounds beautiful and free! Ahhh to have no major daily time commitments (probably sounds easier than it is!) I can imagine the colours. Take care - see you when you get back. - Carol
