Had to travel to Brant Lake in SE Adirondacks today. Took 53 pics. I won't bore you with all, but here are a few of them that depict a bit of yesteryears & today. Pics. 1-5 show parts of this unique town called Horicon NY The millpond in the center of town covers about an acre. On the north side is Market st. with the white buildings. On the south side is the two churches, the fire house , the town municipal building and a few houses. On the west end is the dam and the post office kittered from it. Heading back west on NY8 is the hamlet of Chester. (originally known as Riparius) See pics. 6-8 This is the upper Hudson River taken from the bridge site. This is the head waters of what turnes into an international deep water shipping port at Albany NY about 60mi south. The other end of the tracks in the pic. originate in Grand Central Station in NYC. Many of our countries most famous people including presidents, travled these rails to their summer retreats around Scroon, Blue Mtn. and surounding lakes to escape the city heat in the early 1900s Pic. 9 Is of probably one of the smallest US Post Offices in the US. at Bakers Mills NY. About a dozen houses in the community. Pic. 10 is an old gas station in Jonsberg NY on NY8 Had to post this for the people who posted on the restored ones. Pic. 11 is old RT8 19?? Seams the beavers have adopted metal construction into their dam building. The next two pics. are of two abandon farms along RT8. Farming there had to be tough at best with a 70-80day growing season and poor soil. Last pic. is of a nicely restored farmstead on some flat land surounding the west side of Lake Algonquin in Wells NY. Hope I'm not boreing all of you with these pics. on this forum as they are a bit OT. PS-- Could someone here tell me how to post descriptions with each pic. rather than at the end of the post. Thanks Acg. Sorry about the doubles, this thing has a mind of its own!

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
