Hobart Road In Brighton, New York - Part 2

I continued on my driving tour of Hobart Road, finding some homes which were not attached, as least as far as I could tell, to a farm. This one sure looked friendly and inviting:
 

There were still lots of very big hay fields along the road, though:

A smaller, older, simpler home with a wheelchair ramp which didn't show signs of use. Perhaps an old person lived here who hadn't been out of the house recently. Notice the fields out behind:

A small storage building with a car, a snowmobile and other machinery parked outdoors. The extensive fields and mountains behind it were spectacular:

A comfy looking home set back in the trees, with woodsmoke rising from the chimney:

These telephone wires passed through fields and forests, leaving an open lane which seemed to beckon to me to explore it - but not in this weather!:

A lovely, comfortable farm, again with views of mountains all around:

And a spectacular old farmstead set behind a row of big maples:

A practical home with an attached garage and enclosed porch. This is cold, windswept country where protection against winter's ravages is wise. But this was the end of my driving tour of Hobart Road. I got back on the highway and continued my journey home:

Hobart Road In Brighton, New York - Part 1

I was driving home through Brighton, New York when I noticed this sign for Hobart Road. I'd never turned down there before and wasn't in a hurry, so that's what I did:


There were old farmsteads beneath big skies, with Adirondack forests in the background:

And big old farm houses, all covered with snow:

A trailer and series of barns with a gas or diesel pump for the tractors and farm equipment:

The sign advertised snowmobile rides and the huge hay machine parked in the field with the Adirondack mountains in the background added to the scene:

Another field with farm equipment, Adirondack mountains and what appeared to be a pile of logs for firewood:

Extensive farm fields with gorgeous mountain views:

And a wonderful old farm house:

A more updated house, perhaps no longer owned by a farm family. But there was more to see yet on Hobart Road and I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
