Franklin County Route 1 - Part 1

I turned north out of the town of Bangor, New York onto County Route 1 and headed toward the town of Fort Covington. The rural scenery along the was was so nice that I decided to start taking photos:

We'd had a stretch of snow and cold, but this day was above freezing and raining, with all the snow turning dirty, muddy and slushy. Nonetheless, the scenery was beautiful:

This old barn stood alone and looking forlorn, though it was in excellent shape:

The land around the road was flat and I could see for many miles. I suspect that this was part of the St. Lawrence valley even though the St. Lawrence River had turned north into Canada here:

There were large old farm houses:

And large, old family farms:

The old barn and silos in the above photo had been added onto with a newer barn and grain bins. I couldn't get the whole place in one photo:

A beautiful home with Christmas decorations;

A farm house with a great front porch. There was more to see as I drove northward, and I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
