Fall Color

Fall is perhaps my favorite season. I love the color (and, if late enough, the lack of biting bugs). The first two are old photos that I scanned; the last three from a 2007 trip to Lake Clark National Park. The next-to-last picture was taken from just outside Dick Proenneke's cabin ("Alone in the Wilderness"), which was covered with blue tarps while maintenance was being done.
Guess where this was shot
Current River, Missouri
Revelation Mountains, Alaska
Twin Lakes, Lake Clark National Park

I like Current River most.

Pilot Mountain, NC?
You got it. I used to live in the town of Pilot Mountain (Mt. Pilot to Andy Griffeth fans)

The photo was from my favorite camping place. If anyone cares, The Current River National Scenic River was the first of the Wild and Scenic Rivers where the Park Service was granted the easements along the full length of the designated area.

I never heard of this park but now I want to visit it! Beautiful photos.
Thank you. You must be referring to Lake Clark National Park. It was created by Jimmy Carter. The only two ways to get to it are by foot and by airplane. I strongly suggest the latter.
We stayed at Port Alsworth, at a lodge owned and operated by Glen Alsworth III. The few land owners still there are grandfathered in. Glen also owns and operates Lake Clark Air and served as our guide and pilot for the week we were there, a week that was sandwiched between the summer tourists and the hunters of fall.Jan 26, 2018 06:51:37 #

I canoed the Current River as a Boy Scout in the 1980's!
Then you undoubtedly saw those boulders in the picture, probably when the leaves were green. That picture is from the late 80s. In the early 80s, the rocks were called the "Twin Sisters". Later, in the 90s, the locals started calling them the "Twin Rocks". There was a third rock behind the two you see, so calling them twin anything was a misnomer. Here they are in the Spring.
