I was taking a driving tour of Franklin County Route 16 and yesterday's post ended with a photo of the other side of this farm, with the clothesline on the porch and barns out back:
This concrete block shed and three topless silos stood all alone, with no buildings nearby:
An old, abandoned farm with sheds, barns, equipment, truck and lots of miscellaneous things left behind. Trees were growing up and camouflaging the former farm:
Another abandoned shed, part of the above farm, which was beginning to lean precariously:
A barn in fairly good shape - except for the addition on the back:
A sugarhouse, getting ready for the season to begin:
I began to have crippling leg cramps and had to stop my car and try to walk out the cramps. I took a photo of this lovely farm house while I was hobbling up and down the road:
That's also when I snapped a photo of this old, abandoned pickup truck. Alas, when I could drive again, I stopped taking photos and decided to get home as quickly as possible. Nonetheless, it was a picturesque rural road if ever there was one. I am thrilled to be living in a place with so much scenery - farms, lakes, rivers, mountains:

Franklin County Route 16 - Part 1
I had previously noticed Franklin County Route 16 and made a mental note to take a driving tour there some day. Well, the day arrived and I began with this classic old brick house. Notice the traditional plank door:
A magnificent dairy farm. I noticed the clothes on the line and decided it was an Amish farm, but then noticed the bright colors of the clothes and the electric lights in the barn. So apparently it wasn't Amish:
A view of the same farm, but from the other side:
An old barn which had been nicely modernized. The backhoe was actively digging up the field in preparation for spring, most likely pulling out rocks and digging trenches for drainage pipe:
Another very large and prosperous looking farm, with barns, sheds, silos, grain bins and corn kernel storage bin:
This farm house looked friendly and inviting:
I think it would be fair to assume this guy likes to race cars:
Another large and modern dairy farm:
A farm house with clothes hanging on the porch, and a barn out back. But there was more to see on County Route 16, and I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
