The houses nearest the highway were rather modern and I imagined their owners commuted to work in Potsdam or Canton:
But mostly East Part Road was incredibly rural, with fields and woodlands beneath amazingly blue skies:
The birches and pines danced with the clouds on snowy fields:
And bigger pines stood tall and looked quite serious, giving me the impression that there was some real forest here:
Indeed, I began to see "State Forest" signs, like this one on a giant old maple:
I wasn't passing many buildings of any kind, but I sure enjoyed the scenery - such as this snowy lane, leading off into unknown territory:
And then I found this sign which identified at least some of the forested lands I was seeing as Buckton State Forest, a place I'll check out for hiking with the dogs some time after the weather warms and the snow melts:
Everything looked mighty cold to me, but these houses were built for northern climates and were undoubtedly warm and comfy inside:
Another lane into the woods, this one with a gate preventing unauthorized entrance:
I usually won't stop and snap a photo if anyone is outside the home, but this woman never looked up from brushing snow off her car, so I took the picture anyway. But I was only halfway to the next intersection. I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
