Part 2, Green and Hayden Roads in Parishville

I continued on my driving tour of Green Road and saw a few very nice, suburban type houses. I guessed that these were folks who worked in the city but loved living in the country:

But most of the homes were farms. This one had not only a gazebo but a magnificent barn:

I drove through mixed forests:

And places where Winterberry, Ilex verticillata, (our native Holly) lined the edge of the road with brilliantly crimson berries:


I stopped the car and got out for a close-up of the berries. Now, this certainly put me in a holiday mood:

I passed more farms:

And farm equipment, such as this old time hay rake:

A modern modular with a split rail fence:

And another modular behind tall pines:

I passed through a forest of Red Pine and White Pine:

And then realized that the road was taking me through Whiskey Flats State Forest:

I crossed over a lovely little brook and arrived at Route 72, which runs from Hopkinton to Parishville. Green Road ended there, but with a slight jog after I crossed Route 72, I continued on Hayden Road. But I'll post about that tomorrow:
