Autumn Glory

This weekend was the Autumn Glory Festival up in Oakland. Oakland is in the next county and is at a higher elevation. This is where all the skiing and snowboarding happens, and it is about 40 minutes away. The fall foliage was amazing, but unfortunately it just doesn't show up in photos. We went out to the Adventure Sports Center Inc. facility, which is literally right next door to the Wisp resort. . . where we will be snowboarding this winter! They have a white water rapid course. . . not as cool as the real thing on a river in the middle of nowhere. But it is a really good place to learn the art of white water kayaking, it seems that it would be much more fun to learn how to do it here before heading out on the real river. Just a thought. Then maybe your life wouldn't be flashing before your eyes, because you would know exactly what to do because you have practiced. So, they had a pumpkin race, where you pay $5 for a pumpkin, put a number on it, then send it down the river. It was pretty interesting and definitely something we had never seen before. We saw lots of these tractor crossing signs, so naturally we had to include it here for all of our family farmers to see.
