Mr. Jones Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Fall is not fall unless it is in New England. Make the drive, and enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berto Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Look up 'Brown County' here in Indiana. Surprisingly hilly area in Indiana! its dense woods and absolutely beautiful in the fall. A lot of nice little bed and breakfasts. Its next to bloomington. There is a town called 'Nashville' which is nice if you are into pottery and antiquing...just not my style. but the scenery is beautiful. Also have lake Monroe in brown county...largest lake in Indiana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Beckly West Virginia. You can see the new river gourge and all the nice fall colors. Or my personal favorite is black water falls west virginia. Its 6 hours and awesome. Also good for any of the skiers out there. Photo of the falls. Hard to judge from the picture, but they are pretty big and should be good now that its actually rained. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f185/EWhytsell/Picture119.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS_Sonoma Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Bryson City, NC....lots of cabins and scenery. I personally use this company for vacationing every year. Bryson City is close to the Dragon tail and pigeon forge. http://www.watershedcabins.com Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmrmnhrm Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Another vote for Hocking Hills... there are a ton of little cottages over there that folks rent for a few days at a time, little one-bedroom jobbies for you and the wife, to 3-4 bedrooms should the kids be around as well. A lot of them come with hot tubs, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second Gen Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Trip down to Kentucky and ran the Bourbon trail. My favorite was Makers Mark and it included Free drinks @ the end. We spent a long weekd (Three day) Plenty of really nice hotels around there for under a hundred a night. Also still like hitting Hocking Hills (But more of a day drip for me and not a full weekend trip) gl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
