Vacations Blog

How, you ask, are the UpTake Vacation writers spending their fall? Well, thanks for asking. We’re doing a lot of this:

Lehner Pumpkin Farm in Radnor, Ohio

Linus: Each year, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch that he thinks is the most sincere. He’s gotta pick this one. He’s got to. I don’t see how a pumpkin patch can be more sincere than this one. You can look around and there’s not a sign of hypocrisy. Nothing but sincerity as far as the eye can see.

The Sierra Silver Mine Tour in Wallace, Idaho

The tour isn’t always scary, but one Halloween visitors to the mine were terrorized by a mad miner with mayhem on his mind, and a large supply of dynamite to keep him busy. Normally, the tour is a great way to learn about hard rock mining methods. Happy Halloween from Idaho!

Reindeer in the Apple Orchard. Confused? We were too but hey, I got my family holiday card done before Thanksgiving.

They've got leaves as big as your head.

Fall isn’t just in the air, it’s on the ground. Also, in your face.
