Fall foliage caper: October 12 - 13, 2002

Wellsboro, PA is one of those out-of-the-way secret places.  This was our fourth trip to

one of our favorite destinations.  Although the fall foliage was no where near peak due

to the warm fall and it drizzled all weekend we still enjoyed our stay.

We even managed to bicycle 16 miles in the rain on the Pine Creek Rail Trail

through the Grand Canyon of the East!
