We drove up to Vallecito Res. North of Bayfield, Colorado, on this cloudy, cool day in SW Colorado to view the snow on the mountain peaks in that area. The clouds were hanging over the tips of the mountains, but you can see the clouds fading out the mountain peaks in the photo on the left. The scrub oak and Aspens had some beautiful color mixtures this year.

Roy in Perry, OK says Fall and cool weather arrived in Oklahoma. How cool was it, Roy? 54F? 45F? That is what it was in Bayfield, Colorado Monday in the valley and higher mountain elevations, respectively.

Battle of Point Pleasant, WV

Michelle of West Virginia shared some of her photos that she took at the Battle of Point Pleasant in West Virginia. We have put some of them in this week's newsletter. If you are connected to Facebook, you can see more of the photos on NW Okie's Facebook site. We have also find a "History of the Battle of Point Pleasant" over at books.google.com. The Battle of Point Pleasant was the "Chief event of Lord Dunmore's war." NW Okie noticed lots of her Warwick ancestors relations among the names listed on the monument markers. Maybe you can find some ancestral names of your own.

Happy Fall To Everyone! My favorite time to be in the Rocky mountains! The deer have come down from the higher elevations to graze, too.
