Mrs. HC and I left the lake last Sunday and there were only random splashes of bright color....mostly green where ever you looked as we circum..drove..around the big lake. We will be back NEXT Saturday and hope we're greated by florescent colors in 'them there' hills....the "color predictor" web sites predict the week of the 16th to the 23rd to be Peak Week around our big lake. Hope they are correct.
