Scenic Byways

Alex and I took a road trip today up to the Delaware Water Gap and the Poconos mountains. Our mission: find fall foliage. We decided to avoid all major highways so we were driving through some pretty rural areas. At one point we were driving along and there were about 5 wild turkeys waiting to cross the busy road. I tried to get a picture, but they were too quick. I have never seen a live turkey in person, let alone crossing the road - it was awesome! We stopped at a Farmers Market along the drive and stocked up on fresh apple cider and homemade fudge. Yum! The drive was beautiful, and led to a very scenic picnic along the Delaware River.


As we were driving along through a small town, I noticed this amazing tree. I made Alex turn around so I could get a picture of it. There's something about a tree with leaves that turn red in the fall...


At one of the scenic overlooks of the Delaware Water Gap, we found a hiking trail that led to the Appalachian trail. We decided to go for a little hike, and we were not disappointed.



All in all, I would have to say mission completed.
