I have the first two weeks in October free and was thinking of driving from DC and exploring West Virginia.
I'm hoping that at higher elevations the leaves should be starting to change colour by then (I would have preferred the second and third week of October for my trip but can't get the time off work).
Any suggestions for driving routes; convenient stop off points where I might find inexpensive lodgings; and - above all - some must see locations for setting up the tripod?
