Part 2 - Riparius, New York

I was on my way up to the farm with the dogs, but had stopped along the way to take a driving tour of the little Adirondack town of Riparius:

There was a truss manufacturer:

And fine old homes with lilacs out front:

There was this old garage:

And an old house which apparently had a lot going on:

Another old garage, helping to give me a mental picture of the town's past:

And this lovely home with its picket fence and apple blossoms:

Riparius had a volunteer fire department:

We returned back to the center of town, driving right past the caboose at the train station and heading for the bridge which spanned the Hudson River:

This large house on the shore of the Hudson looked to have had many additions over the years:

And this place was covered in Adirondack style board and batten:

A local artisan was making rustic furniture and other Adirondack wood products. But there was still more to see in this tiny village, a lot more. I'll post Part 3 tomorrow:
