Page 3 - North Hudson, New York, The Hub Of The Adirondacks

I was on my home from a weekend at the farm and making a driving photo tour of the town of North Hudson along Blue Ridge Road. As I reached the foot of the mountain, there were more houses along the road:

This, I suspected, had once been a general store:

An attractive home nestled beneath the trees:

All of North Hudson was sparsely populated and forested. I found it extremely attractive and thought it would be a nice place to come home to. But where would these people find work?:

Split rail fence and an old fashioned Snowball Bush:

A deep ravine with a rocky river ran alongside the road:

And the Blue Ridge Falls Campground:

A Mountain home:

Several wild and lovely bodies of water abutted the road. This one had a loon in the center of it, but it dove when it saw me point my camera:

A screened porch on which to relax and enjoy nature. A fenced yard for children and/or dogs. An attached garage for rough winter weather:

A nature lover's home in earth tones, with a deck and a picnic table. The Adirondack forest was omnipresent:

A big old Snowball Bush and an early burst of autumn color (this was in late August). But I'd reached the Northway and it was time to put down my camera and concentrate on the drive home. Just past the Northway exit was Frontier Town, also in North Hudson, but you've seen plenty of photos of that in past postings:
