Mid-Atlantic 2012 Fall Foliage / leaf discussion/tracking

Awesome photos everyone.

A few of us went camping over the weekend near Luray at a place called Outlanders Campground. We hiked Old Rag on Friday but the fog didn't lift until after we had come down, so that was a bummer. On Saturday we thankfully avoided Skyline Drive and instead hiked in the George Washington National Forest to Duncan's Knob (it's okay...we snickered too). All in all, a fantastic weekend, although I still think our local colors are better because of all of the reds that we have here. Talking to the locals out that way, their colors are more yellow and brown. I've attached a few of our pictures.

Really outstanding color this year. We are at peak in the Northern Shenandoah. Come out this weekend and check it out.

Figures the back-up car isn't doing well...I so want to go into NC and the middle Shen. Vly. for one last long distance trip for the season (though not looking good at the moment).

Here is one quick edit from today's outing in Great Falls. If you want to go there, go now...they're likely to be past peak soon.

I hope this is deemed appropriate.

Here's a link to the 2012 Fall Color thread over on Fred Miranda's site. The guys/gals that post over there are wonderful to communicate with and share some awesome pics.

I've been adding some more fall foliage images to my Facebook page:

too many that would just clog the thread here. If you go over to http://www.facebook.com/stormitecture be sure to "Like" my Stormitecture page if you want to see JUST weather and similar/related stuff.

heading out to Arlington Cemetery in a few. Figure I need to get this foliage stuff done with Sandy risking more and more increasing winds.
