More On Traveling With Dogs

I've noticed that autumn flowers are in full bloom in the north country. Joe-Pye-Weed, Goldenrod, Queen Anne's Lace and Asters are blooming everywhere. For the most part, though, the tree leaves have not begun to color. Seamus found one patch of color in the Adirondacks when we stopped for "poop break:"

Route 73 in the high peaks region of the Adirondacks. I think it's safe to predict that they won't be enlarging that highway any time soon. Besides the legal restrictions on Adirondack development, where would they put the extra lanes?

It's mighty pleasant down on the highway but I would have also enjoyed being up there on that mountaintop:
