Good Morning Campers,

On my way to work this morning I was stunned!

The leaves are changing!

You’re probably thinking that I’m losing my mind considering it’s the end of October and since it’s the end of October that means the leaves are supposed to change color.

I know all that, I just mean that I can’t believe it’s the end of October already and feel like I have missed the entire Fall already.

Every since I was a kid my family has had a tradition of going camping in the fall up into the Poconos or the Delaware Water Gap area. We would spend the weekend basically walking all the trails to enjoy the change of seasons. We would stop for some hot apple cider and have roasted marshmellows on the campfire to keep us warm.

Once I grew up and got married I kept this tradition going with my kids,or least have tried to. Unfortunately this year it doesn’t look like we are going to be able to go. Between all the sports, activities and school commitments and the fact that by this time of year most of the leaves are dead up in that area I guess it isn’t going to happen.

I do think we will take a Saturday afternoon (hopefully this one coming up) and take a drive up north and hopefully get to enjoy at least a day trip to walk the trails and enjoy the beauty.

If you are reading this, plan a trip up to the Poconos, the Delaware Water Gap or the Kittatinny mountains and check out the foliage. Even if you only go for a couple of hours and drive around, it’s worth every minute and every cent of gas!

‘Till Next Time…Remember “There Ain’t No Better Camping Then New Jersey Camping!”
