There's nothing quite like clear blue skies, a nip in the air, and leaves crunching under foot on a nearby trail.This week in San Francisco feels more like summer, which is nice for Fleet Week and the air show, but I do think back to my recent vacation trip to the Pacific Northwest, especially my last days in Elko Nevada, where it definitely felt like autumn. One of my brothers has called Elko home for many years.
