Essex County Route 69 (or is it 13A?)

We were driving on Route 73 through the Keene Valley when I saw a side road Labeled County Road #69 (although Google Maps calls it Rt 13A, or Hulls Falls Road). This spectacular old red barn and silo were on the corner, so of course I turned up the road to see what I could see:

More old, red barns:

Some rather expensive looking homes with mountains in the background:

Smaller, more modern homes:

And log cabins:

And old farmsteads:

I'm not sure what this was - a barn, perhaps?:

And a home with a great rail fence. I didn't see any horses, though. When we got to the end of the road, I discovered that we'd arrived again on Route 73, so I just turned left and continued on my way:
