Scenic Buckton Road - Part 1

I'd driven down East Part Road (see previous two posts) to where it intersects with Buckton Road. I decided to turn onto Buckton Road and begin heading toward home, snapping photos as I drove. The Buckton Town Hall was deserted and not plowed. Buckton is a tiny settlement, not really a town, so I don't suppose they have much business to tend to:

And this lovely old farm house:

The Buckton Methodist Church:

I crossed over a branch of the St. Regis River but would never have known I did so if it weren't for the bridge. It appeared to me that ice jams had caused flooding - which then froze, leaving a vast field of snow and ice with the actual river far beneath it:

Another historic old farm house:

And lots of firewood for this exceptionally cold winter:

All snug and comfy, a haven in this winter landscape:

There was Adirondack siding on this home:

And a low, modern home beneath a giant maple tree:

This mobile home was landscaped and situated amongst the trees in an appealing manner:

I passed through woodlands with birch and aspen along the road, backed up by conifers and then more birch behind them. It was an odd but colorful mix:

A home with several chimneys and a ramp. I imagined a family gathering there for Thanksgiving dinner. But there was more to see on Buckton Road, so I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
