A Drive Through Wildwood, New York - Part 1

We'd already taken a driving tour of the hamlet of High Flats and hiked the Beaver Bridge Trail (see previous posts). Our next stop was the tiny hamlet of Wildwood, New York. You can see the sort of roads on which I discovered it:

The dogs and I were having a grand time:

I passed by a Great Blue Heron and snapped a photo which didn't turn out well enough to use. This tom turkey was displaying in the middle of the road for his harem until my car approached. Yet still I was able to get a good shot of him as he took his hens off into the forest. He was quite colorful and you'll be able to see it better if you click to enlarge the photo:

I began finding homes along the narrow roads in Wildwood:

Most were nice homes and it seemed to me that this was country living at its finest:

There were big homes:

And homes with outbuildings. This one seemed especially nice:

A red barn in the woods:

And a modern, green octagon house with a traditional split rail fence:

An old farmstead:

More nice homes:

and a log cabin style home. Wildwood seemed remote although these people were quite close to Potsdam. I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
