Nice drive up the Dragon today, nobody in front of me till the end. Roads obviously very wet with very little dropped leaves. Because of the rain, I made sure I went slow but did notice a number of new pull-offs with newer asphalt. I know the LEO that got me was sitting on an area laid this year from the looks of it.
Temps on the drive were a steady 66ish the whole day with a good amount of rain. We did notice one area with a big patch of fall colors, so hopefully this cold front brings some good color change in wider areas.
Get antsy folks, you only have a few more days till you start making your way here.
