FALL FOLIAGE
excursion
A
utumn means different things
to many people. Students
may embrace the dawn of a
new school year, while others
might embrace the crisp weather after
a season of heat. One of the more
widely enjoyed aspects of autumn is the
chance to take in the brilliant foliage.
Although New England may be
renowned for its bright, orange, red and
yellow panoramas, dazzling displays
of foliage can be witnessed anywhere
temperatures descend enough for
deciduous trees to shed their leaves.
The first step to a successful fall
foliage excursion is to find the right
spot. The Catskill and Adirondack
Mountains of New York, Amish
Country in Pennsylvania, the Great
Lakes from Michigan to Ohio, and
many other areas can be great
places to witness nature at its most
colorful. To make the most of fall
foliage road trips, drivers can keep
the following suggestions in mind.
Get off the highway
To see great fall vistas, take a
detour from major thoroughfares
and visit small towns and mountain
passes. Invest in some maps,
as cellular networks may be
inaccessible in remote locales.
Avoid tourist-heavy areas
Drivers may prefer less crowded
roadways to accompany the great
scenery. Such drivers should visit areas
that are not tourist meccas. Any area
One of the
more widely
enjoyed aspects
of autumn
is the chance
to take in
the brilliant
foliage.

With increasing code requirements, more insulation is
being required for basement wall assemblies.
ROCKWOOL stone wool insulation can provide a high
efficiency wall system, combining continuous rigid
insulation and friction fit batt insulation between the
studs. This will help to both reduce thermal bridging, and
to create a highly insulated wall system.
