Woodsy Santamont Road, Parishville - Part 1

I was on my way home from a shopping trip when I decided to turn onto Santamont Road for an exploratory driving tour. It was about 6.5 miles long and quite nearby but I'd never before taken the time to have a look. The first home was this white mobile, blending in nicely with all the snow:

And a home with lots of additions, including a very tall one which must have had terrific views:

A smaller home, probably a modular:

And a bigger home with pillars:

A modern ranch:

And a classic, lovely, old farmstead:

But then the road took me through forests and I saw no more signs of telephone or electric wires. The homes or camps were mostly set far back off the road and I often had to use my zoom lens to get a photo:

I began to conclude that the houses I was seeing beyond a certain point were camps, vacation homes, hunting lodges:

This place was all fixed up and looked either new or newly remodeled:

This place looked older, but still inviting. A Christmas Eve here seemed attractive to me:

As you can see, the road had become exceedingly woodsy and remote:

This charming camp was picture perfect. Every time I thought there'd be no more buildings and I ought to turn around, I'd find one more. This was truly a fascinating and beautiful road. So I kept driving, and I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
