Much farther south then Albany and with such a mild autumn, it was still not far past peak in the Sweedlin Valley, looking towards Fisher Peak from Shanandoah Mountain. 

I ended up visiting five states over eight days, including the Commonwealth of Virginia. Apparently they don't spend a lot of money on fancy signage welcoming people to Virginia on dirt roads over Shenandoah Mountain like Camp Run Road I took over the mountain on Monday.
