We'd have to pitch in a hire a chef for breakfast, then go for a lovely ride and burn off the calories

Wannadu - do you also have issues with sand? Here, red clay is everywhere in GA, and the second you cross Savannah River into SC where I live, there's sand. I'm talking white, beach type sand without the ocean. It makes growing grass or plants so hard.

I checked with my sister in Americus, and she laughed like hell at your description, and then said you left out the fourth foliage color in Georgia--the four colors are green, tan, dead, or under water (guess you guys got some serious rain the other day).

I like that shot of Riley's Lock, Nicole!

I live on the central western side of ga-south of Atlanta and red clay here. But I did go to college(after HS) in south Ga and it was sandy(near Vidalia-onions-the soil there grows the most unique onion in the world) In fall the first yr I was there, it was a cool morning and I wasn't used to the milder weather so I wore a sweater to Savannah and about roasted all day b/c it was 75-80 degrees, the sand wasn't frost. (blush) So the coastal terrain near the Savannah R. doesn't surprise me and mix w/ red clay. Jennifer

P.S.and the leaves don't turn fast either. Not like the gorgeous colors you get up north.Our trees are a little golden but still a lot of green.

Well, this may not be my favorite ride but this was my ride into work this morning. Just gorgeous. I loved it. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day. Too bad my picture taking isn't up to par with the loveliness of the day.

Enjoy.

Yep, it was a bummer of a day to be stuck at work.

Rogue, is this the Bay Trail near Foster city? I like that too.

Stevens Creek Trail --> Shoreline Park

Here is a picture of a small waterfall I see on one of my rides.

I don't have a picture, but I saw a fox while walking on a local path today! (I rode there yesterday.) That was pretty neat.

This is where I started from Saturday where I had a nice little picnic before my ride. The old bridge in the foreground is Rt. 462 crossing the Susquehanna River. (The bridge in the distance is the newer Rt. 30 bridge. The pilings between them is, I believe, the bridge from the Civil War era that was burned to slow down the "enemy".) It's very peaceful before the boaters show up.

The second pick is a unique flower bed in front of one of the river houses. The third is on a different fav ride. It's from inside a covered bridge on the way to my brother Darrell's house. The fourth is just a cool dude hangin' out in front of a store by the Covered Bridge Ride we did last w/e in Bucks Co. (I was gonna get his #, but with that hair, he's just way out of my league.

)
