County Route 50, Along The Deer River In Brasher, New York - Part 1

I was returning home from the Post Office when I decided to make a side trip on County Route 50 in Brasher, a road I hadn't yet toured. It began with St. Patrick's Cemetery:

There were a few neat little homes with decks and lawns. This one flew an American flag:

Though much of the landscape was bare because of a thaw the day before, this road still showed some snow:

There were nice homes with lovely landscaping, always backed up with White Pines and woodlands:

In fact, the houses soon fell away and I found myself driving through Brasher State Forest:

I passed this little side road. It looked so interesting that I backed up to take a closer look, snap a photo and check to be sure this was State Forest land. It was, so I hope to come back soon with the dogs to investigate this road. It sure looked inviting as it wound its way into the forest:

A neat log home with a big barn and lots of White Pines:

A small mobile or modular home, also with lots of White Pines:

This old split rail cedar fence was well on its way toward decay. Since cedar lasts so very long, I figured the fence could easily be a hundred years old or so:

There were gorgeous hay fields - lots of them, in fact, and rows of big, round hay bales:

The road followed along the Deer River, pretty much frozen over at this point:

More hay bales out in the field. The road was becoming more rural, narrower and less populated - but I kept driving. I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
