do a cooking class at different drummer's kitchen; pick apples at samascott and get doughnuts and booze at golden harvest; and hit June farms while the leaves change!

To enjoy the colors I plan to drive East from Albany on Rt. 2 to visit the Grafton NY Peace Pagoda. Then up to Petersburgh Pass to hike the Taconic Crest Trail. Afterwards drive to Williamstown to visit the Clarke Museum. Then on Rt 7 and dine at The Man of Kent Tavern.
