We had to get up and around early this morning because we wanted to pull out around 8:00 for our 250 mile drive to Cooperstown, New York. It was cloudy and cool as we left Ashland, New Hampshire, and just as we got through Concord it started to rain. The weatherman had said there would probably be showers on and off today. The problem was they were more on than off. It also got quite foggy as we were going over Hogback Mountain.
The whole drive which took about 6 hours was one of the prettiest we have been on. We traveled with Earl and Eunice and Ron and Sherry. I feared that the color would not have reached to southern Vermont and New Hampshire, but I really think it was more vibrant down there. If the sun would have been shining it would have been amazing. We had lots of mountains to go up and down, and invariably there would be a stoplight at the bottom of some of them. We had to hold our speed to 45-50 mph most of the way.
The mountains are solid color - so beautiful.
We arrived at the Cooperstown KOA Campgroud around 3:00 and got set up. Jenna and I went into Cooperstown - about 12 miles away - to get the lay of the land and fill up with diesel - $4.19 per gallon! Cooperstown is one of the neatest towns we have been to. Lots of these little towns in New England are very quaint, but Cooperstown is quaint, well groomed, and looks like a town from the 18th or 19th century. There were beautiful old homes that have been well taken care of, and the downtown is like stepping back in time. Of course most stores have a baseball theme.
Tomorrow we have tickets to the Baseball Hall of Fame, the Finnemore Art Museum and the Farm Museum. Both Saturday and Sunday are free days to explore and visit Cooperstown as we please. I'll report on what we see next time. Until then, Happy Trails!
