For those of us living at 3000′ elevation the peak of the Fall colors has arrived on September 1st this year. Fresh snow fell on the peaks August 8th and never melted. Fall has come, and nearly gone, but we are still foolishly hanging in there in hopes of some good weather. Summer is like a movie with a bad ending that we watch over and over, I never loose hope that maybe this time it will end differently … but it never does. It’s best to just let go of Alaskan Summer, and then fly to Hawaii.
