| Hello/Intro Foliage 1 Return to index of stories... |
Hello I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. Autumn in New England. Nowhere is the seasonal show of color more sweeping than it is in this region -- which is why every year at this time, thousands of visitors head north to places in New Hampshire for the Fall Foliage Season. When the leaves begin to turn, the backroads of NH beckon. This year, observers say the peak foliage schedule is at least a week behind. The changing colors of the season --brings a lot of GREEN in to heavily forested NH. It's an important season for the state's tourism industry. But this year -- the season could be impacted by rising gas prices and events related to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The state Division of Travel and Tourism Development is offering a conservative prediction of what the industry can expect this fall. The division is expecting more than 7-point-6 million tourists to visit NH to see the fall foliage. that's only a one-percent increase over last year. |

Welcome. Q MARGARET: Are tourism officials keeping a nervous eye on gas Prices? Any reports of CANCELLATIONS.due to high gas prices. last minute weekend trips -- worries they could fall by the wayside if prices spiral higher How big a factor is the TIMING of rising prices -- places already booked?? Q BOB: We keep hearing the foliage is off to a LATE start this year, WHY? Q BOB: What is Mother Nature's recipe for an especially spectacular season? why are some YEARS.more brilliant than others Q MARGARET: Most of those taking in Nature's display coming SHORT distances. ** Warm, sunny days mixed with cool, but above-freezing nights appear to produce the brilliant red hues associated with peak fall foliage. |

Q MARGARET: When is the right time to visit?? Q BOB: How can you be so sure that we are going to have a great fall foliage season? what about WEATHER conditions - -change every year. Q MARGARET: We used to be content with just a drive down a country road. Now, the foliage serves more as BACKDROP for other activies, not the MAIN attraction. What kinds of activities are out there for KIDs Q BOB: What suggestions do you have for ENJOYING the fall foliage season THE MOST? ** The Appalachian Mountain Club invites hikers in New Hampshire's White Mountains to go on a tree hunt. Given maps and field guides to find specific trees -- and record foliage color and data. ** Next weekend: The KEENE PUMPKIN festival can carve your own. Q MARGARET/ BOB: Where do you like to go to see the foliage? back roads, combining historical views with fall foliage, fire towers, boats and trains, and more. Q MARGARET: What are the most popular attractions in the state for OUT-of-STATE visitors? Q BOB: Here's a perennial question. Why do leaves change color??? Q BOB: We've heard of problems with leaves in the seacoast area having problems - dark spots and leaves dropping earlier than usual? Will this spoil our foliage season? q What is it about the changing colors that makes us travel miles -- to take it in. Q Who owns the foliage? Is it mostly public land that we are looking at? Q We've heard a lot about global warming. Will this have an effect on NH's fall foliage? Q What about weather conditions from year to year?". PARTING advice: get out and enjoy it while it lasts. BOB EDMONDS, and MARGARET JOYCE |

Tonight there were a few graphics that needed to be made. This became a problem for Randy since he has had hand pain while using the mouse. He seemed to get floustered very easily and annoyed, probably because he was in pain. But it slowed the process down for us to do the show. Our guests were late getting ready so it all worked out that way but it was a bit tense getting the graphics done. Everything else went well, except I almost forgot about the "next bump" this time. But we got it all in. Jessica did a nice job with the close up the guests brought in. |
