1) Their camp, at a beautiful new facility out in the middle of nowhere (or as close to nowhere as most will go), is extremely quiet and businesslike. It also appears very well run, which is a plus. The oddity is the plane "cemetery" next to the fields, a lineup of airplanes put out to pasture (or in the case, out to desert), where the dry air allows them to survive for parts or emergencies. Occasionally, there is a takeoff, momentarily disrupting the eerie (as opposed to Erie) calm.

There's nothing quite as breathtaking as a scenic drive during the fall, when the air feels crisp and colors abound. But we urge you to drive a route Coastal Living--style. Skip the Blue Ridge Parkway and travel to places where reds, oranges, and golds border blue waters. Here are 10 of our favorites.
