We spent a few hours in the park. The leaves were maybe 40-50% changed. It was mostly cloudy, so they didn't "pop." We hiked about a mile and a half up the Beehunter Trail, and then spent an hour or so removing ticks from Callie and Kodi before they attached. Callie only had a few on her, but Kodi had at least 50-75! My wife found one attached on her neck which I removed, and I found one on my thigh when we got home. Hate is not a strong enough word for those devils!
