These photos were while we made the overall trip from TX to TN and back to TX. I was hoping to see lots of Fall color along the way but our first day on the road (14 hours) most of what we saw were in the "brown" stage. Our last 4 hours that day were in the dark so we had no idea what the Fall colors had done as we got closer to our overnight destination. The next morning we awoke to find Fall was peaking in the area we stayed overnight at! Including our stops along the way, each direction ended up taking us around 22 hours instead of Google Maps' estimate of 15 hours each way.
