Early foliage on Sand Patch
Author: cinder

A moist green summer has been followed by a dry September on the east slope of CSX's Sand Patch grade. As a result, the sugar maples are already beginning to color-up around Mance, PA. There was a noticeable change between Sep 18 & 21.

Of course, there are two color peaks near the top of Sand Patch grade....The maples show first and other hardwoods follow a week or so later. Plan your fall foliage trips during the next two weeks for sure.

My favorite too. Beautiful pix, "cinder." I thoroughly enjoyed my three years living in Frostburg MD from 1993 to 1996; no matter what season it was always a very scenic 20 minute drive up to Sand Patch. A special place to be sure. #137, October 17, 1995

A few weeks ago Travel & Leisure Magazine
named Oakland, MD as the best location for
Fall foliage viewing.

beautiful! Those consecutive #`ed 9000`s have probably been together
since they were delivered. You would almost see a pair on the 135 and 137
every visit to CSX country.
