Yes leaf peepers are tourists who come to the mountains to view the fall colours.
Most are not used to mountain roads and often struggle to stay in their lane either from inexperience or inattention.
They are also famous for stopping in the middle of the road if they see a deer or just stop in the middle of a blind bend to admire the view.
It was once considered a derogatory term but Leaf Peepers have embraced the name.
It's ashamed they haven't embraced driving skills in the same way.

We get a similar breed over here in Wales. Flat capped/blue rinse pensioners filling the roads after school holidays. They drive spotless 10 - 15 year old Rover 75s at 35mph, oblivious to the queue of 50 or so cars behind them. Grrrrr!

Went to Manchester with wife and daughters last night to see Palaye Royale. Very entertaining and a great band who looked like they were really enjoying themselves. Very impressed with the band's thoughtfulness too. They stopped playing completely halfway through a song when they saw a young woman in the audience had passed out, and made sure she was moved to safety and was ok before they started playing again. They also took the time at the end of the show to come and meet everyone and have photos taken with them, even though they must have been pretty knackered and needing sleep.

Despite there being 6 of them on stage, Palaye Royale are actually just three. The bass player and guitarist on the right of the stage along with the keyboard player, back, left are session musicians with the band for the European tour.

Looks like a more modern boat used to ferry troops and vehicles from ship to shore like those made famous, or perhaps infamous, on D-Day .
Just guessing....

Correct Bill, it's a landing craft used by the Royal Marine Commandos. Top bunch
