Editor’s Note: To know Andy McCown, as thousands of Echo Hill Outdoor School alumni already do, is to know one of the great Upper Shore storytellers talking today. Through his love for the Chesapeake, a healthy dose of Eastern Shore irony, and an indelible sense of wonder, Andrew has enriched countless numbers with tales of nature, natural mysteries, and a very fragile ecosystem at still working hard against tremendous odds.
In a special series for the Spy, Andrew, and videographer (and EHOS alum) Wil Campbell, have started to share some of that wonderful storytelling with the launch of Cool Outdoor Stuff.
