The endless autumn

This year will be remembered in Michigan as the the Endless Autumn.  I honestly cannot remember such beautiful weather this late in the year.  October was perfect and now in November we've had a solid week of days that are dry and nearing '70.  I rushed through my work to get out and enjoy 15- 20 miles on the LHT

even the ducks are hanging around.  Not many people were out enjoying the weather, but even the golf courses were getting some late business in this year.

The leaves are all off the trees and it makes the trails more picturesque, for some reason it seems more
quiet with a layer of leaves insulating the ground.

The crisp dryness of the air and silence of the woods makes me wonder why nobody else is here.
