The great thing about fall in New England is that the foliage is some of the best around. The biggest challenge is guessing when the leaves will begin to peak. A couple of years ago, my son and I decided to drive into the heart of the North Woods in Maine. Using Bangor as our base, we headed up to Millinocket so he could do some research for a novel he was thinking about writing. We spent most of the day exploring the town and getting some local color. Near the end of our visit, we found Crandall Park and discovered a different kind of color. Yes, peak foliage had reached Millinocket. Crossing a bridge over the Millinocket stream and looking upstream, we saw the town to our left and the trees on our right showing off their beauty before going to hibernate for the winter. The stream was very calm and gave us a double dose of color.
