I have been touring late summer and early fall for a number of years. Besides being easier to find campsites than in the summer, I miss much of the
Grand Pas d'action with the RVs and motor-homes. One drawback to fall touring is it puts me squarely into hunting season. I do fine with the bow hunters but when the modern firearms season starts and the assault weapons come out I call it quits. I get a little nervous riding on Forest Service roads when bullets are cracking through the branches and trees.
