The wifey and I took a ride around the perimiter of the farm a few nights ago. Not much color in the trees when the pics were taken, but in the last few days things have really changed. My Compuker took a violent ride south earlier this week, and the wifey let me use her's tonight. These are pics from the town roads that suround the farm with views back towards the farm and aquired land and buildings. The very old early 1800s mill was part of a plantation granted to George Hyde Clark, from the King of England, which included Lake Glimerglass, which the novlist , James Fenimore Cooper, imortalized. Pics. 5-9 show the hand built, earthen viaduct which is roughly 2m long, that supplied sufficient volume and head of water to power the grist mill. Notice what is left of the wooden penstock that bridged the creek and went into the mill. The turbine was a vertical shaft design.The modern bridge on the road was erected about 5 yrs ago. Before that there was a steel strsel bridge , which nothing other than cars could cross. The school busses and snow plows had to turn around and go back. The local farmers drove across the creek with their equipment. The rest of the pics are just random shots back at the farm on a rather overcast -drizzly evening. The red barn is where me and the wifey went parking in the early to mid 60's before we got married. The next couple are from just past the barn, looking west across the valley at our home farm, and our town on US20. Don't pass threw over 45mph!!!, and don't blink. The next pic is Thanksgiving dinner on the hoof, HeHe.The last pic. is of the wifey's dog and our cat this morning. Life is going to the cats and dogs around here, LOL.
Hope I didn't bore you all.
