Well we have recovered from the three month long Alaska trip and are ready for a new adventure. We are planning a month leaving September 15th and returning October 15.
By the way, this trip has us visiting our last three states in the U.S.; Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont (Not all were in an RV).
Just note that most campgrounds in these 3 states close Monday, October 10 (Columbus Day); some close October 1; a handful closed Labor Day. Check ahead.
From previous experience, in central Vermont we arrived October 1 and the leaves were mostly green. We left on October 14 and they were all on the ground. We are currently in mid-Maine near Bangor and the maples are starting to change (actually started about 2 weeks ago - they are stressed from the very dry summer). You might want to get to the NE soomer and work your way back towards Georgia to follow the leaves.
