County Route 52 and County Route 6 - Part 2

I was taking a driving tour of rural County Route 52 and enjoying it very much. This home still had a Santa and his reindeer atop their arbor gateway:

Like nearly all the homes, this place was neat, trim and well kept:

This older home had lots of blue:

Set way back behind tall trees:

I passed through long sections of forested land:

And then saw a sign which explained that I was in the Brasher State Forest:

I saw more homes set back behind giant, old trees. At the time, I paid no attention to what species of tree they were, but now, looking at the photo, I'd guess they were Cottonwoods:

And wetlands:

And more forests:

The road passed from St. Lawrence County into Franklin county, thereby also turning from Route 52 to Route 6:

There were still no farms except for one Amish farm where I couldn't take any pictures because the whole family was out. But the small town homes continued to be lovely:

Trees and green lawn surrounded everything. But there was still more to see, so I'll post Part 3 tomorrow:

Chapter 4 - Amazing Peru Street, In The Town Of Lawrence, New York

Peru Street took me north from Route 11B to Route 11, a distance of about 4 miles. I was nearing the end of the road and still enjoying every scenic moment of it. I passed this creek, swollen from the melting snow:

This farm house had several huge old trees out front but I never noticed what kind they were. Now, looking at their trunks, I'm guessing they were Cottonwoods:

This home had an enclosed porch and a ramp:

A front entrance with a nice deck and lots of stairs:

This mobile home had a long ramp and was chartreuse, the color my mother painted our kitchen way back when. I still remember it:

A small white mobile home, a red mini-barn and lots of ice:

The sign said "Willis H Thomas" and apparently was once an auto repair shop. Or maybe it still was, though I didn't see any activity:

Lots of windows, used to enclose their porch:

A friendly, well cared for horse with a blanket to keep him warm:

The last home, at the northern end of Peru Street, was this mobile/modular (I often can't tell which is which):

But as I pulled out onto Route 11, I encountered this fun and colorful display, at the headquarters of Adirondack Storage Barns of Lawrence, New York. Lots of storage sheds, Adirondack chairs, gazebos and even a wooden train for the kids to play in:

This company surely catered to children, as evidenced by their other offerings of pirate ships and castles, built just for young minds and bodies. Peru Street had turned out to be one of my favorite driving tours yet, a road of friendly, rural beauty:

White Road In Stockholm, New York - Part 2

I continued my driving tour of White Road in rural Stockholm, New York. There were newer homes:

And hay fields cut out of the surrounding forest:

A home surrounded by garden gnomes and even a Garfield and Tweety Bird:

Homes set so far back in the trees that I couldn't even see them from the road:

This home had cleverly kept many trees but mowed lawn around them. I'm sure it was a lot of work to keep it mowed, but the effect was exceedingly pleasant:

Someone was building a new side road through the forest and it looked private, not public. Perhaps it will be a new driveway or housing development:

This lovely old farmstead rested comfortably behind some of the biggest Cottonwoods I've seen in a very long time:

A home with several decks for leisurely afternoons on pleasant days:

A very old carriage house:

And another woodsy type house set back in the forest:

This small hay field filled with Joe-Pye-Weed was for sale. It would make a nice place to build a home:

Just after I passed this pleasant home with a travel trailer out back, White Road returned me to the main highway and that ended my driving tour:
