Well there are some colors, but not much. Least color along there I can ever remember. Looks like most are just dying up and falling off. But there are some nice looking trees. Just got home from driving up to Marquette Park.

Looks like rain won’t be coming till about 4 pm West Alton . We should be off water by then, but be prepared. I’ll continue to monitor. Kathy

Because this is a regular trip, not a pop up, it requires registration Kathy
