We went with our good friends Anon Amous

We went with our good friends, a group of 6 {{the E?OTIC 8}, two could not make the trip this time} , for a second time on this run. Go in late fall as all the leaves are off the trees and you can see the river and its features. We went after Thanksgiving and it was just as fantastic as the year before.This might become an annual event for us. If you can, take the observation car the best views are from here.
