The fall foliage can be spectacular. Politics and taxes suck big donkey dicks but I can't say anything bad about the terrain.

Here in NY we have fantastic scenery,Adirondacks,Catskills,but personally the Fingerlakes region is beautiful,right now it's spectacular with the trees changing.
And we have some really great hunting and fishing opportunities,the big pond to the north,and all of the Fingerlakes.
But the politics SUCK.
