Lexington Hearld-Leader -
New England's fall foliage typically peaks in late September and early October. But around the country, leaf-peeping season runs longer than you might think.

Sarah Palin, had been picked by John McCain to be his GOP running mate. High water Thursday kept the Heaths from reaching their gold mine, which they use as a camp to hunt caribou. They returned home, intending to drop in Friday at the Alaska State Fair, where their daughter was scheduled to take part in the ceremonial launch of the Alaska commemorative quarter with the assistant director of the U.S. Mint.
