Converse Road - Part 2

I was driving on Converse Road in the tiny hamlet of Fort Jackson, New York (see also Part 1, posted yesterday). I came to this old barn, abandoned since I moved to the area. I was surprised to see it fenced off and with Herefords grazing by the side of the road. That square, wooden silo is typical around here:

I stopped one more time at the other end of the barn:

And then continued on along Converse Road, most of which is wooded and beautiful this time of year:

This historic home is the only brick home I know of in the area:

More colorful woodlands:

A barn and concrete silo:

The road was lined with the remnants of old stone walls and with brilliantly colored trees:

A farm house, all decorated for Halloween:

This maple lined section of Converse Road turns solid gold late in the fall, but it was still green when I took this drive:

Almost at the end of Converse Road is a farm with Red Angus cattle. I thought at first that this must be a cattle barn, but decided that like most beef cattle, their Angus stayed outdoors and were fed from the grain bin by the overhead door:

I turned around at this beautiful hay field, and my driving tour of Converse Road came to a close:
