10/11/14 Hwy 89 from the Greenville Y to the Taylorsville T is spectacular today!!!! The best fall colors being on the other side of Indian Creek. I would suggest if you are going from Quincy to stop about a 1/4 mile from the Y on 89, there is a pullout on the left hand side of the road or better yet, go about another mile, where you see the Dawn Institutes apple orchard on the left, and there is a big pull out on the right. Park at the pull out and take the short and easy hike down to the creek. The maples on the other side of the creek are like gold lace, with red dogwoods intertwining in between. Bring your camera so that you can capture the memory!!!!!If you havent planned your trip yet, now is the time. The Quincy community is displaying wonderful color right now.

10/9/14 Bucks Lake Rd., right before the summit, has turned, and it is beautiful. The deep reds, rust, and yellow. All of the wonderful fall colors. If you haven’t been on the road in the last few weeks, you need to do it, it won’t last for long.
