The sun came out and it was a beautiful day Stopped at Saratoga Spa state park. We were happy to see that the rain and wind did not knock down all the leaves The park is 2.379 acres and it contains lots of trails, the performing arts center, picnic ares and lots of other amenities. There is a beautiful fall display at the entrance to the park. I was lucky enough to talk to one of the state employees who told me that her and her boss start working on the display in mid September. This is just part of the beautiful display

At the height of this bottling frenzy in the early 1900s there were more than 200 private wells tapping into Saratoga mineral springs
