My Grandfather used to host "the fall foyliage tour" every year in the local T club. He always found someplace incredible for a mid-tour pitstop, places "normies" never get to see. My Grandmother would stay home and set up tables of food, donuts, "pizza muffins", coffee, etc. This was before cell phones so on the last 15-20 min of the ride someone would peal off and make a phone call. "we're x-min out" so she'd be ready for the crowd. They are both long gone and I don't think the club does it anymore. So.... I took my fordor out on the last good day of the season here and filmed it for all of you.

Sadly now the "fall foliage" has turned into wet and cold here in NewEngland. Come along for the ride if you want!

I thought someone would say something about the touching story I relayed - or at least diagnose my car in the video. So far only one - george says I have a two speed rearend, nope!

The hosted that last tour of the year for a couple decades. I have no idea how he found the things he did. "Oldest house in NewEngland" with holes from Indians flaming arrows still in the roof, a license plate collection like no other hidden in the woods near a pond, and on and on.

Nice roads, and scenery. We don't have that in L.A., but we don't have snow either! Thanks for posting!
