Deep In The Wild Forest - Keese Mill, New York, Part 2

I was taking a driving tour of Keese Mill, New York (see yesterday's post) and I was very much impressed. In addition to the lovely forests, there were pristine ponds everywhere, on both sides of the road:

I passed sizable homes, most of which seemed quite old but all fixed up:

And I again visited the St. Regis Presbyterian Church, which I had first discovered after I'd hiked Black and Long Ponds on the Jenkins Mountain trail:

But this time I parked and walked right up to this beautiful church, peering in its windows.

And out behind the church, through a small section of woods, was yet another pond:

I continued on my way, photographing the homes of Keese Mill. As I said yesterday, browns and greens predominated:

This old home looked as if it had remained unchanged for a hundred years:

This one also, though this one had apparently been remodeled:

A smaller, comfortable home with a satellite dish, a boat and Adirondack chairs:

And a large, rather deluxe home with an extensive perennial garden:

More earth tones and a practical, screened porch:

Keese Mill has only one road with no side roads - and that one road tapers off into a seasonal gravel lane through state land. So all homes were deep in the wild forest and it was apparent that was just the way they like it. I liked it too. But I was on my way to go hiking, so I put my camera away and continued traveling south on Route 30. But I'll post about that tomorrow:
