Steve's Review:
Friday night was chilly! Thank god for 20° sleeping bags. The air was cold, but in our tent, in the bags, wearing our jammies, we stayed warm enough. Saturday morning took some willpower to emerge from the tent, but we were rewarded with a frosty wonderland of fall color. The foliage was at its peak, as the slideshow will demonstrate. Simply Stunning!!! Our site had a path at the back that led to a beautiful pond, surrounded by color.
On Saturday, we drove over to the Jiminy Peak Ski Resort and turned the boys onto Alpine Sledding. We had a blast! Saturday night, we were joined by my cousin, Katie, and her husband, Tim. On Sunday, we all went on a nice hike within the park to Spruce Hill, where there were tremendous vistas of Mount Greylock and the Taconic Range. A-plus all around.
