This Sept. 23, 2013 photo shows a sign indicating the location and marks an area of the apple orchard at the Cornell University Fruit and Vegetable Research Farm in Geneva, N.Y. Trees at Cornell University's research orchard are heavy this fall with waxy apples, deep-red round apples, oblong apples and aromatic apples. The thousands of trees here are tended with a single goal: to grow apples with just the right mix of sweetness, tart and crunch. The orchards, part of the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, are essentially a 50-acre lab devoted to developing apples that are tasty for consumers and hardy for farmers. The station has released 66 apple varieties over more than a century including Cortland, Macoun and two new entries at farm markets this fall: SnapDragon and RubyFrost. (AP Photo/Heather Ainsworth)

Food Apple Tart This Aug. 26, 2013 photo shows an autumn apple tart in Concord, N.H. This easy apple tart uses a fuss-free crust that comes together in under an hour. The filling is gently cooked on the stovetop, so the apples retain more of their crisp, fresh, just-picked flavor. (AP Photo/Matthew Mead)

Travel-Trip-Beer and Bike Tours This undated photo provided by Sojourn Bicycling Vacations shows participants in the tour company's Vermont Bike & Brew Tour, which takes bikers on a scenic six-day, five-night trip to visit craft breweries. Bike tours that take beer-lovers to visit craft breweries are offered around the country, ranging from tours that last several hours to more challenging trips like this one that unfold over several days. Tour companies have also come up with a variety of strategies to prevent biking under the influence, including limiting swigs and providing back-up vans. (AP Photo/Sojourn Bicycling Vacations)

Shutdown-Campgrounds FILE - In this Oct. 2, 2012, file photo, leaves begin to turn peak colors in the White Mountain National Forest in Carrol, N.H. Private campgrounds in the White Mountain National Forest are being told they have to close during the government shutdown, a particularly painful blow at the height of fall foliage season. The U.S. Forest Service says the campgrounds still require federal support services and so must be shuttered as long as the stalemate continues in Washington. (AP Photo/Jim Cole, File)
