DESTINATION CHESAPEAKE:
COOPERSTOWN, NEW YORK
It All Starts Here
By Loren Anne Barnett
D
riving north to Cooperstown from Annapolis this October was like a time-lapse through autumn. Winding through the rolling hills of Pennsylvania,
I yearned to pounce a brush loaded from a palette of yellow, chartreuse,
and fiery orange on a blank canvas to recreate the scene. In New York the
colors changed to ochre, brown, and deep evergreen. Small towns and farms nestled
in the valleys, and periodically the road paralleled some of the narrow, flood-prone
rivers that feed the Susquehanna River and our Chesapeake Bay.
