Jack Frost’s handiwork attracted so many motorists to mountain roads and wooded spots Sunday that the travel bureau of the Lycoming County Motor Club was kept busy and open all day yesterday.

The tinting of the foliage and colorful scenes of the region are believed to be at their peak, rust reds as well as deep browns were blended together by nature to present a picturesque scene seldom equaled.

Inquiries flooded the local motor association office. Many of the travelers went to Harrison State Park, near Wellsboro, while others visited open house celebrations at CCC camps in the area or traveled leisurely through mountain sections of Loyalsock and Lycoming Creeks.

Temperatures soared to an official 80 degrees Sunday as Summer bowed out.

There is doubt whether the beautiful foliage will last another week. Many leaves have already fallen and but there remains enough to color mountain sides. Many fear colder weather and heavy frost will conclude nature’s show this week.

The greatest travel was on secondary roads and some of the rural routes which lead to some of the more secluded spots and natural scenes of beauty that remain unchanged.

Although travel was in a peak period State Motor Police observed that enough safety was practiced that no accident was reported to them.
