The leaves are starting to turn their fall colors. While we are not anywhere near a full fledged display, there is some color to be seen.While it’s nice to be able to go to the mountains for a weekend, a lot of us just don’t have the time. You can experience the fall colors with a day trip in Bucks County.Some suggestions are:
- Take River Road (route 32) north from New Hope up to about Upper Black Eddy. There are places where you can pull over near the canal.
- Visit one of the Bucks County Parks (State or County). The parks with lakes can be especially beautiful with the fall foliage.
- Visit the town of New Hope or Peddler’s Village in Lahaska when the foliage is in full color.
- Get a good map or trust your GPS and take a leisurely ride through the back roads, perhaps checking out some of the covered bridges in the area.
- Take a train ride from New Hope.

The pooch show promises to be a lot of fun with categories such as least obedient, and best vocal performance. At the end of the day, there will be a pet parade. Gates open at 1pm.

The Washington Crossing State Park will be closing on July 9th 2007 for an indefinite period of time due to budget issues:
According to the PA Historical and Museum Commission site at http://www.ushistory.org/washingtoncrossing/
ALERT: As of Monday, July 9, 2007, Washington Crossing Historic Park will be closed to the public until further notice due to a budget impasse and furloughing of state workers. The Park is looking for actors to portray General Washington. Of course, that will be on hold until the budget is resolved
Perhaps old George and the boys should take the Durham boats up the Susquehanna to Harrisburg and deal with the mercenaries running Pennsylvania. Of course, they folks in the Capitol don’t have the cool hats the Hessians had.
