County Route 38 From Raymondville To Plumbrook, NY - Part 2

I was driving along County Route 38 and taking pictures as I went (see also Part 1, posted yesterday). I am especially fond of old barns:

A row of farm buildings:

And up on a rise, an old hay rake:

This old barn appeared to have been unused for a long time:

Another old barn which may still be used for storing hay. I couldn't tell:

A collection of farm buildings alongside the road, all of them in good repair:

A grain bin, probably for corn:

This abandoned house was notable for its tiny size. I imagine the original part was to the left. Just imagine, that tiny structure was once someone's home:

Bucky's Wheel Alignment and Tire Sales did not appear to be in business any more:

My favorite farm house on the road, with a sturdy chimney and brick construction. I also loved the front porch:

A gigantic old barn which had been restored and freshly painted. It was a beauty:

A more modern barn and garage combination:

When I got to the end of the road, I saw this building and suddenly remembered that I had indeed been here before. I think the last time I was here, this was an auto repair shop. It appeared to be out of business now. This was the end of my driving tour, so I put my camera away and headed for home:

County Route 38 From Raymondville To Plumbrook - Part 1

I was on my way home from the veterinarian's office with all five dogs in the car because they'd just been vaccinated for the year. I took a look at a map and noticed County Route 38, thinking I may not have toured there yet. So I turned onto it to see what I could see. I began with this handsome brick farm house:

I stopped at a flock of wild turkeys beside the road but by the time I got the window down and my camera out, they were running away from me:

A wonderful old barn, up on a rise:

An old wooden equipment shed:

A farm house with many additions, a common sight around here. It's often difficult to tell which was the original building:

Another brick home, this one with an elegant addition:

Lots of firewood, and a woodland just behind them:

A sad looking, abandoned home - which won't be standing much longer:

This tiny home sat rather far off the road and I had to stop and back up to photograph it:

Another old, abandoned home (the mailbox was for the house across the road):

A steel sided barn with two old silos:

A modern steel barn with the same two old silos:

A collection of curious calves checked me out when I stopped to snap a picture. But there was yet more to see on County Route 38, and I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
