It's been a tough year weather wise for the entire country. Here in Oklahoma it was so dry earlier in the summer, record number of days in triple digits for us also, that most of the trees dropped their leaves early. Luckily, we've had a lot of rain lately so the landscape has greened up considerably. However, you might call and ask about the foliage in the states you plan to visit, see if the trees have dropped most of their leaves already. Or just ask the ladies and gentlemen on this site what it looks like in their area. Hope you have a great time if you decide to go.
