Grafton Lakes State Park 📍

With the afternoon sun, and the clouds pushing in, you could see the parts of the forest that still had brilliant color offset by the areas that are fading away to the grays of winter.

Petersburgh State Forest and rolling farm country of the many small hick towns that make up Washington County.

Maybe somewhat faded by the late season and relatively dry autumn, there were still many excellent reds and yellows to be taken in from the Dickinson Firetower.

It was cold but quiet. I ran into some hikers on the trail but saw nobody at the tower. 

The colors were faded to mostly red by the time I got to Long Pond, but it still was a beauitful end of the day.
