Part 2 - Gokey Road, From Nicholville To Dickinson Center

I passed a sign saying I'd left St. Lawrence County and entered Franklin County.  But I was still on Gokey Road, so I kept driving, photographing nice rural homes beneath big trees:

Another frozen brook:

And a classic farm house:

This outbuilding had lots of firewood and big logs for making more firewood. And two old vehicles:

A shed with a snow plow and steel tank of some sort. Notice that the woods were everywhere, surrounding and backing up all human structures:

This rambling home and outbuildings looked all set for winter:

And then, to my surprise, I passed a baseball field and playground equipment. It seemed odd, given the extremely rural nature of the road:

But then I passed a sign saying I was entering the village of Dickinson Center. The houses became much more frequent:

Dickinson Center is an attractive little hamlet, notable in part for its isolation, far from any other settlements:

The Deer River passed through the town and helped paint a pretty picture of a snowy New England village:

I snapped a quick shot of these lovely old sheds before putting my camera away and heading for home. My driving tour was over:
