County Route 52 and County Route 6 - Part 3

When I crossed from St. Lawrence County into Franklin County, the road became Route 6 in the town of Moira:

The homes continued to be neat, tidy and well kept:

This one old barn was about as "farmy" as I was to get that day, and it was no longer used - not as a barn, at any rate:

This was a lovely drive in beautiful weather, past immaculate homes with a small town atmosphere:

This home was nicely set back into the forest:

A modern style home with an American flag:

An older, stone house:

And a plain home with a chimney, surrounded by greenery:

I was surprised when I came to these giant piles:

Until I realized that I was at the Moira Town Highway Garage and other town offices:

I was almost at the end of my driving tour, but continued to enjoy the scenery and well kept homes:

The last photo I took was of this abandoned home and outbuildings. I chuckled as I realized that even the abandoned homes were neatly painted and well kept. This driving tour was not what I expected, but I'd enjoyed it very much:

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:
