>>>A little frost sounds ideal right now. Still dealing with 90 degree F temps and our average is 78 this time of year.... As is typical though of North Carolina, it will go from 90 degree highs to a high of 50 sometime in October. We always seem to miss the autumn here.... Wisconsin had absolutely beautfiful autumns....

>>It still does. I am thinking of heading up to Door County for a weekend when foliage is at its peak three or four weeks from now. You have to enjoy it because you know what's coming next. Along with early spring, early autumn is the best time of year here. Halloween seems to be the hinge. It's very pleasant into late October, beautiful colors and comfortable sleeping temperatures. Then whammo, duck and cover. November is the pits. It's gray and dreary the whole month and it gets steadily colder.

>Colorado mtns, Oregon, Washington, the Appalachians, and many other places are beautiful in the fall. To me though, nothing is as beautiful as the Wisconsin bluffs and the rolling hills covered with trees when the leaves turn.... Enjoy!

I will be content with Door County. Might even have a date!

Not that Wisconsin has the Rockies. I worked in Denver for two stretches, commuting from Englewood to an office near the old airport. The last few miles were with the Rockies straight ahead. That view never came close to getting old. Nature creates things man's imagination can never approach.

The only downside was I was still a serious distance runner at the time (1992, not 1982) and the altitude kicked my butt. You lose 4% of your oxygen capacity for every 1000 feet of elevation. I did it anyway, 5 miles or more every night, and did my second marathon back in Chicago that fall. No altitude problems here ;-)
