Autumn is our favorite season. Some RVers follow the sun, seeking an endless summer. Our ideal trip would be to follow the fall. The trick here, of course, would be to stay ahead of the winter. (Probably, at this stage, a good metaphor for life in general.)
This picture is from our trip to Vermont, in 2003. It was our first RV trip to the East Coast and we loved being leaf-peepers.
Bill had taken a fairly serious fall off of a barn (in Oregon) not too many years before this trip. It happened in November and we'd heard quite a few jokes about the Fall Season. So when we spied this Halloween decoration along a country road, it struck a wryly funny note. Fortunately (I think), Bill fell on his heel, not on his head like these guys are about to do.

We stayed at Sugar Ridge RV Park, which is between Danville and St Johnsbury. One week during leaf season, all of the little villages in this area take turns hosting a fall foliage event. It's a great way to get to know local people as well as to learn about their historical towns and (not least) to share their delicious food.
This is the Goodwillie House, in Barnet. It was built in 1790.
Thresher's Mill , a restored grist mill. 
The town of West Barnet held a European coffee hour in this old church on the afternoon of their festival day. They served every kind of baked goods and tea-time treats imaginable. We sure didn't need any dinner that day.
