Past Eleventh Mountain with Lots of Color

Driving past Eleventh Mountain with lots of color along NY 8, outside of Johnsburg, not that far from Gore Mountain. The color is pretty good in this area, at least from the last weekend, but further down along the East Branch of the Sacandaga River, there is less color.

You can see from this relatively open area why Buck Mountain get's it name. As mountains go, due to it's shallow soils, there is quite a bit of grass, blueberries, and underbrush, for deer to graze on.
