Here, the air carries the scent of damp earth after a rain and the crispness of approaching autumn, a subtle perfume that clings to the low-slung houses and the scattered stands of oak and maple. The roads, often straight as an arrow for miles, cut through pastures and agricultural plots, the occasional farmhouse a solitary sentinel against the vastness.
