This is a sunny and beautiful Saturday in late October. We spend the day in Carter Mountain orchid, apple picking, and on our way back, we drive the back road via Rt 20 - Rt 15 - Rt 6, pass the quiet town of Scottsville and Rt 6 takes us home all the way.
This is a second trip to the orchid after 2003, and back then it was a very modest apple barn with few people (and cars) on the road. The driveway to the mountain top was very steep and bumpy, but they certainly improve the roads over the years, and very soon I see that it is a necessity as the public traffic has exploded and the business has grown into a massive tourism operations. Cars everywhere, people everywhere, and staff everywhere. However, the place is a lot of fun, and we end up with two big bags of Fuji apples, half gallon apple cider, two hot apple cider donuts, and four pack apple caramel cookies. Quite impressive, isn't it?
