Northeast Drive 2
We had always dreamed of visiting the northeastern U.S.
during the peak of fall foliage season. In October 2026, we finally made
it happen! Lucy, our rat terrier, came along. She is a great traveler.
Our 17-day adventure began with a scenic drive through beautiful West
Virginia. Since my mother's maiden name was Prickett, we made a special
stop at Pricket's Fort near Morgantown. From there, we traveled through
central Pennsylvania and past New York's Finger Lakes region before
arriving in Sodus NY, where we spent three nights in a rental house
overlooking Lake Ontario. The next leg of our journey took us to the
Adirondacks for three nights in Lake Placid. From there, we visited Fort
Ticonderoga and enjoyed spectacular fall colors along a mountain pass
near Stowe, Vermont. One of the most memorable experiences came the
following day when we made a harrowing drive up Mount Washington,
surrounded by clouds. What an adventure that was! We continued on to
Maine for two nights before beginning our journey home, which took us
through The Catskills and a stop at Gettysburg before a beautiful drive
along the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was a great 17-day vacation filled with
beautiful scenery. Who could ask for more! |
