When a fair weather and peak fall foliage forecast align on a weekend day you can assume with high confidence that I will be in the car headed for the mountains. I left early in the morning and drove to Franconia Notch in New Hampshire where the color was great but the sky was overcast.  I paused for a few shots and then set out for Smugglers Notch in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont where the light was better and the color just as nice.  I failed to find a perfect shot and spent more time enjoying the scenery with my eyes than trying to capture it with my camera. Realizing I was less than an hour from Burlington, and decided to drop in on my sister-in-law, Susan for a brief visit.  By the time I returned to Concord at 8PM I had logged 515 miles on my trip odometer.
