The Aptly Named High Flats, New York, Part 2

I was surprised to find the hamlet of High Flats so populated and looking so prosperous. It seemed to be a wonderful place to live. Who wouldn't love to live here?:

I saw this old cabin, now abandoned and falling into ruin:

There were comfortable, friendly homes beneath pine trees:

And another old, abandoned home, this one well on its way to total collapse:

A large and modern log cabin style home, sitting far off the road:

An extensive arrangement of porches, decks and steps. With this kind of scenery, I'm sure they wanted to sit outdoors and see it as often as possible:

A smaller, old fashioned home with wrap-around porch and surrounded by farm fields:

I passed by what appeared to be a recently clear-cut section. I supposed that someone planned to build there. I was amazed at how many big rocks littered the ground and imagined the hardy pioneers who had to clear farm fields of those rocks - without power equipment:

A unique home with a hip roof:

I passed by a wetland:

And an old fashioned family farm, a classic look which could have been a picture from the past:

The last home I photographed in High Flats was this red roofed house sitting off behind both trees and farm fields. I'd planned to make the hamlet of Wildwood, New York my next stop and checked the map for how to get there. But I'll post about that tomorrow:
