+civilwarranger Posted September 22, 2002 Posted September 22, 2002 Parts of the South-East has been under drought conditions. I am planning to visit the Asheville , NC region for the Fall color and for some caching. What effect will the the drought have on the color? Any one in Asheville or surrounding area care to give a color report? Will be in the area mid October. Many thanks. If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why is it still #2? Quote
+Snowtrail Posted September 23, 2002 Posted September 23, 2002 I hear it is going to be one of the better years to view the colors. Gold, red and orange being the prominent colors. Mid October should be peak season in Asheville. If you don't have a place to stay already, you should go ahead and make reservations. I had trouble a few weeks ago finding a place in Jefferson in October... Geocaching Carolinas Quote
+Snowtrail Posted October 3, 2002 Posted October 3, 2002 www.charlotte.com The Charlotte Observer will have an article in the upcoming Sunday (Oct 6) on the fall leaves, what colors to see where. Geocaching Carolinas Quote
+K-9 Cachers Posted October 15, 2002 Posted October 15, 2002 Don't know if you've been to Asheville yet, but I live here, and the fall color is almost non-exsistent. The past 2 weekends I went to Graveyard Fields and Max Patch (both higher elevations than Asheville) and there was still very little color. Still a great place to visit and lots of great caches in the area. Quote

+civilwarranger Posted October 26, 2002 Author Posted October 26, 2002 Was in Asheville recently and regretfully the fall color was not seen by me. A little color on the trip to Johnson City, TN on HWY 23. The color is late this year indeed. If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why is it still #2? Quote
+Alan2 Posted October 26, 2002 Posted October 26, 2002 Autumn is runing late up here in the northeast. Might be doing the same down there. Foliage Reports is a good source - they track the foliage throughout the season and keep archives of reports for past seasons. They also have places to stay to view the foliage; in fact I figure these places pay for the web, but the reports seem fairly unbiased. They also iundicate the leaf fall percentages. Alan Quote
