I'm sorry about the conflict with the fall foliage tour! We planned this for weeks to make sure there were no conflicts and it looks like bad timing caused them both to happen at once.
I can't change the dates because of...well, it's complicated. Trust me.
Hopefully there won't be too many people who want to do both and we'll have simultaneous events that are successful.
There will be a live FT Webcam on Friday night - perhaps we can have a little linkup to join the events for a bit?
