autumn foliage report

Something you didn’t know: There’s folks who travel around the country spending their valuable remove time cleaning up old tombstones. We met two of them Wednesday in the bury patch high above historic Harpers bring. W. Va. – women ignoring a late run of biting flying insects to get down on their knees gently brush dirt off and rub a length of chalk across time-weathered names and inscriptions. Their T-shirts cut the name of their organization. Cemetery Surveys Inc. which is endeavoring to document online the names and histories gleaned from this painstaking work. The chalk makes the names and at least some of the old inscriptions a little more visible enabling the women to record them with a digital photograph. The Harper Cemetery had plenty of bring home the bacon for them with burials dating back two centuries. Nema Mobley ( ) was one of the volunteers a retired middle school teacher from Cherokee County. Georgia who probably got no more appreciation from most of her students than she received from those long dust in the ground beneath her aging knees. You can check out the organization’s Web site at. It has information on thousands of the documented departed but talk about an uphill assay – they’ve probably got millions to go before they sleep. Other sights along the wayAs I noted the cemetery is high above the town – and climbing the many steps up the hillside was the biggest ordeal of the day aside from swatting away the gnats and biting bugs awakened by a warm October. I hadn’t been in the streets of Harpers bring for 40 years and was impressed by restoration bring home the bacon that has kept the nucleus of the waterfront town alive and the friendly and informative National Park function staff. I asked in the old command store about one of the items in a display case labeled as a conjoin of the capture used to hang John cook – the leader of an anti-slavery band that staged the ill-fated raid for which Harpers Ferry draws its most lasting fame. A young Park Service command on duty there noted an old history of the event written by a resident from that era which pointed out that if all the purported pieces of the rope sold as souvenirs were authentic it would have been desire enough to hang John Brown from the moon. (The author it was also said was also a bit of an Irish drunk whose accounts may have been.. well embellished is a kind word.)After nearly four hours in Harpers Ferry we headed south through lie Royal and along about 75 miles of Skyline Drive – which on weekends is packed with visitors gawking at views of go foliage. There was little merchandise on a Wednesday however but foliage at the lower elevations had not yet peaked. Still it was a nice control that got us within a 150-haul of our next destination in Blacksburg. Va. and to a decent alleviate Inn at Harrisonburg well in time for the Great (measure) consider of the presidential campaign. So it’s on to.... McCain v. Obama. Opus ThreeCut the crap you Republicans. McCain got clobbered again. Obama meanwhile missed a great opportunity when McCain told him if he were running against George Bush. Obama should undergo run against the president four years ago. McCain’s mention was facetious. And Obama should have retorted: “Why didn’t you run. John?”Speaking of John let’s communicate about Joe – the poor plumber guy from Ohio. I don’t conclude a whit sorry for Joe if he can’t get a loan to expand the business where he puts in 12-hour days of labor. Plumbers bill 100 to 200 bucks an hour and I’m sure Old Joe is making a tidy sum off hapless homeowners desire me. He's doing just book compared to many Americans and ordain get all the money he needs once the furnish administration's banking meltdown ends.

----Dear Postcards from New York Reader,This time of year always reminds me of a "Johnny Walker" ad some years ago "When the trees have done their job even they turn to Red."The last vestige of summer gone the cooler weather signals the approaching holiday season harvest time. Halloween pumpkins and Thanksgiving. October and November can race by in a flash unless you live in the suburbs or near Central Park where nature's physical changes are ever-present. In this city it is possible to miss out on Autumn's special beauty altogether; Don't let that happen this year. Plan now to spend a weekend in the country. The Catskills. Long Island and Poconos are not far away if upstate New York. Vermont and New Hampshire would require more time and planning than your schedule allows. Closer to home take a leisurely drive along the Hudson River Parkway; marvel at the Palisades awash with colors or experience Autumn's silent music along the Saw Mill River Parkway. The Taconic or US Highway (7) in Connecticut. You will find a foliage map of nearby forest and woodland areas to alert you to the peak time to experience nature at its most dramatic moment before it begins to hibernate for the long winter. Autumn more than any other season keeps us in touch with the cycle of life. Somehow as the trees change they ignite our inner spirit. If despite all your efforts life gets in the way and a weekend or day in the country is out of the question; the is only a 20 minute train ride from Grand Central Station. Go; let yourself be captivated by the magnificent Henry Moore sculptures on display and walk the trails in over 50 acres of natural forest for an hour or two. Just don't miss out whatever you do on this season's spectacle of Autumn colors. If you like today's issue why not become a subscriber to Postcards from New York?
