Fall Foliage Update From Island Pond 9/21/16

I just wanted to post a quick photo taken on Rte 114 in Island Pond yesterday, 9/21/16. Cooler temperatures are in the forecast for the upcoming weekend. The colder temps should help get the colors to improve with each passing day. I’m going to try to get the drone in the air later today to get some video and photos of the fall foliage.
