Stop 19: Richfield Springs, NY

We've had some freaky weather. Yesterday, it was in the 90's and just as humid as it could possibly be. Late in the afternoon, it started to pour. It continued to pour most of the night at which time the wind started. When we woke up, it was 42° and misting.

In spite of the cold, I wore my swimsuit, crocs and a tank top to get everything stowed and hooked up this morning. I nearly froze but it made it easy to change into dry clothes before our departure.

It stayed misty all the way to our destination and the temperatures barely got into the 50's today. Fortunately, the mist let up just long enough to let us stay dry while we set up.

Richfield Springs is a beautiful spot in Amish Country just North of Otsego Lake. Otsego Lake is lined with enormous estates and the beautiful town of Cooperstown is at it's Southern tip. Cooperstown is, of course, the home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum so we had to pay it a visit.

Babe Ruth's ghost.

A world series trophy (with an unfortunate Yankees connection).

Rollie Fingers jersey and (I wish that I'd realized it at the time) and Oakland A's world series trophy.

Oakland A's exhibit. I looked up the jersey numbers. #75 is obviously Barry Zito but #15 has changed almost yearly.

The plaque at the Oakland A's exhibit.

Just for Niko: The Boston Red Sox exhibit.
We could easily become Red Sox fans. They've got the whole hating the Yankees thing down to a science.
