Ontario. And since I got here eight days ago, they are already beginning to fall.

Heading back to NJ in a couple of days to catch a rerun there.

Should be nice driving down through New York and Pennsylvania, too.

Very nice MQ. Going to see the Great Smoky Mountains for a few days on the way to florida in 10 days. Hopefully the trees have some nice colors.

Wow, I've never been through that area. I hope you see some beautiful scenery.

It is falling fast. That stand of birch trees in the second picture? Drove past today and half the leaves were gone.

Last year the lake had ice and the ground was white by US Thanksgiving.

Beautiful pics MQ!

R: so if I want to do a drive north from area around Princeton, just follow the Delaware? I'd like to go to Conn but I may not have time. What's the best route if I stick to NJ?

The Delaware & Raritan Canal branches off from the Delaware River somewhere around Bull's Island, which is Southwest of Princeton. The canal goes right through Lambertville, which is a nice place to visit, and which is right on the river, so you can see both the river and the canal in Lambertville and vicinity. Just north of Lambertville is Stockton, which is a nice, scenic little town.

Then, continuing north, the area around Frenchtown is a nice place from which to view the Delaware River--from both sides. There is a free bridge that takes you over to the PA side, and the village of Frenchtown is cute.

Canal Road parallels the D&R Canal from The Georgetown-Franklin Turnpike north to the village of East Millstone, which is only about 10 miles. For much of its length, the canal isn't very close to any roads.
But, I would still suggest that you hold-off on local leaf peeping, as there really hasn't yet been any color change in this area.
