There is no 'fall break' per se- nothing but the occasional three-day
weekend between when the kids start in late August 'til the five day break
at Thanksgiving. Also those who have younger children are going to feel that
their range is limited by how long their kids can stand to be confined to a
car seat on any given day or over some number of days. I'm guessing that
those folks are well in the minority to the general list population- do
y'all take your grandkids camping?
