Above 40 degrees outside and the top is down. Would like to see the colors in October, just my two cents. Change is always good, but the traffic might be aliitle heavier during the fall. I would be there no matter what time of the year. Later Bama Dave

That is a good point, going as fast as we do, who has time to look at the trees

Of course this all depends whether or not we can get the rooms secured at Fontana, but I would think that with enough advance notice that shouldn't be a problem.

Well, lets hear it

Love the idea of seeing the hills alive in a riot of color, but according to the Fontana Site there may be a beer problem:

Octoberfest
10/17-10/21, 2012

Which could lead to a space issue.

Check this site to see when we can take over the Village:

RIght now I'm planning on 09/28 through 09/30. We'll have to put up with Chrysler Crossfires (Chrysler only sold about 12 of those so shouldn't be a problem).
