Fall Foliage 2020
Drove up to the Skyline Drive 10/23/2020 to see the fall foliage. Looked to be a few days past peak leaves. Very umber at and past the Rockfish Gap entry station. But things improved further north. Not as much traffic as I expected, but the overlooks were crowded. Hank the cowdog and I did a picnic lunch at the Dundo picnic area. Had no trouble finding a spot to ourselves. But the gnats were biting so we ate in the car. On the way back we stopped at Beagle Gap where I had spotted some likely looking leaves. The Sassafras and Staghorn Sumac were the belles of the fall, sporting their usual spectacular orange and red colors, respectively.
