Snell, Richards, Foster And Brooklyn Roads

This is Part 4 of my wintry driving tour. I'd come to the end of Town Line Road and had to travel several other rural roads to get back to the highway. My first stop was this old, abandoned barn:

And nearby, an abandoned home. It must have been empty for many years, judging by the vines which covered it:

Another old barn, way back behind some brush. It too probably hadn't been used in many years:

A beautiful, classic Amish Farm. It was pretty as a picture, so I turned it into a picture:

Snowy farm fields, bordered with woodlands:

A traditional Amish farm house with laundry, barn and windmill:

A beautiful old barn, outbuildings and silo:

Another old barn which I suspected was no longer used:

A lovely home in a lovely setting:

This intricate home and attached barn was located just as I entered the tiny hamlet of Lawrenceville:

Another home with a front porch, this one with a western look to it:

This large home was the last photo I took before I turned again onto the highway. I noticed that it was for sale, so I looked it up online when I got home. It was a three bedroom, one bath home with two garages for $74,900:

Part 1 - Snell, Brigham Hill And Taylor Roads

The severity of the winter weather eased off a bit, and I decided it would be a good day for a driving tour of some local road. I headed out toward Route 11B, only to be stopped by this small herd of deer. They weren't afraid of me until I aimed a camera at them. Then they fled toward the trees:

I drove east on Route 11B to Snell Road and turned left, where I encountered this snowy field filled with hay bales and farm equipment:

There was a hay rake, parked in the snow and waiting for next year's hay season:

Trailer, hay wagon and other equipment:

I continued on Snell Road through the woods, passing this travel trailer, parked back in the trees. I guessed that it was someone's deer camp:

I arrived at this lovely home and a sign which said the road, from that point on, was a seasonal road and not maintained in the winter. In other words, Snell Road had only one house on it. So I returned to Route 11B in search of another road to investigate:

Snell Road had been in the town of Dickinson, and I next turned onto Brigham Hill Road in the town of Moira (pronounced moe-EYE-ra):

Brigham Hill Road was classic farm country, as rural as could be:

There were woods and hay fields:

And more farm equipment parked out in a snowy field, just waiting for next year's rush to get the hay in:

I passed this old out building which apparently had not been used in many years. But there was lots more to see, and I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
