Cooperstown, NY

We left Hershey on Friday and headed north about 250-miles to Cooperstown, NY where we planned to stay over the weekend. We crossed the state-line into New York and stopped for lunch at the rest area and visitor’s center. As we were sitting in our motorhome, eating our lunch, Chubby Checker’s tour bus drove by in front of us. Wow, he’s still touring at age 77!

After lunch, we walked over to the visitor’s center and it was very nice, the best we have seen anywhere. Inside, they had a large area where various salad dressings, marinades, jams, and other locally produced items were for sale.

We stayed at the Cooperstown Family Campground, about 7 miles outside of town. It was a nice and quiet country setting. We met our neighbors next door in their motorhome from Castle Rock, Colorado.

Saturday, we drove into Cooperstown and were surprised at how pretty the town was with its many restaurants, gift shops, and baseball-related stores. It truly is the mecca for baseball fans.

We enjoyed lunch at a local café and then walked a block up Main Street to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. The price was right too…free admission for active-duty and retired military personnel. We spent about two-hours looking through three floors of baseball exhibits. It was well worth a stop!

We left the Cooperstown area this morning and drove about 90-miles east to Albany, NY to overnight at the Cummins repair shop. They are going to fix our 10KW diesel generator for us. I think the 12-volt fuel pump has gone out. We’ll know tomorrow when they take a look at it for us.
