I was just getting started on my driving tour of Lake Ozonia Road but had reached the heavily forested part, the part within the Adirondack Park. I began to see lots of summer cottages:
Some cottages could perhaps have been full time homes but their driveways weren't plowed. In this case, however, someone had driven through the snow to get to it:
This cottage had a nice porch and sat back in the trees. Someone had plowed this driveway, but not since the last snowfall:
And then I reached the access road to Lake Ozonia itself. It looked plowed, so I turned downhill toward the lake:
The Adirondack forest along the road was beautiful, like a scene from Norway:
I couldn't get very far because the snow plow hadn't opened up very much of the road. But I could see some cottages over toward the lake:
This rather large place sat right on the lake shore:
And Lake Ozonia itself was an Adirondack gem:
This building appeared to have been built on pontoons, floating on the water. Well, at this time of year it was frozen in place:
I returned to Lake Ozonia Road and explored a little farther, finding a lot of lakeside cottages which I could easily see from the plowed roadway:
And many of them were rustic and scenic:
This lakeside cottage sat beneath the spruces at the foot of a very steep hill. I hadn't expected to find so many scenic cottages in the winter, but since I was, I continued onward. I'll post Chapter 2 tomorrow:
