There was plenty of work to be done with the changing seasons, but we knew it would wait. The leaves were at their peak colors and the waterfalls would be raging after all the recent rain. We hit the road early on Saturday morning and made our first waterfalls (Dave's Falls) a little after 10 am. By the end of the weekend we would add about 9 different falls to our trip in two different states and about 300 miles of driving. Daves falls, to Horseshoe falls, to Pemene falls, to Smalley Falls, to Long Slide falls before finding a cute Italian restaurant for dinner. Flooded washboard dirtroads were just part of the excitement as we hiked from one beautiful view to the next. The temps were cool but actually really nice for walking. Oliver even was allowed to come along and spent the night in his first hotel. Sunday morning the girls took him up an steep slag and scree hill of high iron rocks and then we headed out on a four and half mile romp along Fumme lake with a few more falls to boot and the first sleet of the season. An easy drive back home was interrupted only by lunch and a game of pool before turning our attentions back towards the work that awaited.
