We had planned a trip to view the fall colours in New York and Pennsylvania. One of our stops was in Allegheny National Forest, particularly Rimrock Overlook. I intended to stop, admire the scenery, snap a few pics and go off to the following site.…
I timed this trip perfectly. Of course, I wanted to take all the credit, but some luck was involved because the weather had been perfect for getting all the fall colours to its fullest. We hiked to many places, visited many sights, and saw some…

Charlene and I have been travelling around since our first trip on September 16, 2016. On that day, we did the Grey County Waterfall Tour and were hooked on exploring the province of Ontario and the rest of the world! A lot of our trips,…
