User Info: DontHoldBack. After hours spent searching for a Nether fortress, i finally found one earlier today. Unfortunately, my portal is at x = -6, z = 29, and the fortress is at x = 397, z = 199. I'm hoping to turn the blaze spawners in this fortress into exp farms so having the fortress that far away from my portal is so inconvenient.
Traditionally, Columbus Day Weekend is Peak Fall Foliage. September and October the Maine weather is usually perfect for touring the coast or heading into the Maine lakes region and the mountains to see the spectacular birches, oaks, maples and other deciduous trees whose leaves turn gorgeous fall colors.
Check out this amazing view. Now imagine more than 164 miles of it. Whether you are on the Minnesota or Wisconsin side of the St. Croix River, you will be teetering back and forth between amazing fall colors the whole way down. Peak time to see colors is from late September to early October.
