Loose Horseys in Root

Driving through Root, I was delayed when loose horseys from a Mennonite farm got loose and they were trying to round them up.

Minaville

Minaville is a small farming community south of Amsterdam on NY 30, bordered by the South Chuctonunda Creek. Fort Hunter Road splits off from NY 30 here.

Lost Valley

Small hamlet, that grew significantly smaller after Hurricane Irene washed much of it away in Montgomery County off of Lost Valley Road. As you can see from the USGS Topographic Map, it's a pretty deep valley in there.
