A Return To Frontier Town's Forgotten Village! - Part 1

I loaded the dogs up into my car on a Sunday morning and began another weekend trip up to the farm. We drove straight up the Northway to Exit 29 and then pulled off into the abandoned Frontier Town for a fun rest stop:

It was cool and wet with sporadic rain and I didn't think the dogs needed another trip to the Schroon River. Instead, we drove back through the old Frontier Town toward the abandoned village in the forest. We hadn't been there in many months:

I parked the car near the old storefronts and let the dogs out. I kept a close watch on blind old Wally and deaf old Winky so as not to lose one of them:

The dogs ran around exploring and sniffing everything:

And then we headed up the old "road" to see the sights:

We investigated this crumbling old cabin and I even went inside. But there was nothing of interest in there and I didn't feel the structure was safe. So I quickly exited and we began walking toward the little village in the forest:

Happy dogs, having a most excellent adventure:

Old Winky and Wally lagged behind as we began making our way toward the village, but I insisted on keeping them in sight. But the day was pleasant and Wild Thyme released its lovely fragrance with each footstep I took:

We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Frontier Town:

We entered the old village and began exploring:

The old village was set in a forest of White Pines, many of which had fallen, giving the dogs more play area:

The old log church was, I thought, particularly picturesque. But we had lots of village yet to explore. I'll post more tomorrow:
