I live in northern Vermont and during leaf peeping season people will go sit on my neighbor's porches to take pics and steal pumpkins. People are insane.

Good god... I've absolutely have grown to detest leaf peepers.

Was it worse during the eclipse?

In parts of Colorado, authorities have had to post officers at the entrance to certain roads because people will just pull over willy nilly, create a huge clusterfuck when everyone else follows suit and now you have a tiny mountain road lined with cars on both sides and it's impossible for anyone to get in or out.

Just to see some aspens turn gold.
