No more. It's now a paved two-lane through road. Still, there are a few places, esp. in South Jersey, where you can get dirt on your shoes. NJ is a top producer of cranberries, and there are also Jersey tomatoes, Jersey corn, etc... and the Pine Barrens.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611148987085476580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-58740260988254760042016-10-14T15:10:23.077-04:002016-10-14T15:10:23.077-04:00"we're trying to stay out of New Jersey b..."we're trying to stay out of New Jersey b/c we've heard that it's not nice to its seniors"<br /><br />I live in Oregon and Bob in Georgia, but he was born in Delaware, I think it was, and I'm from Missisissippi. I have traveled many times back East, and the thing I remember most about New Jersey was that part of it was rural.

I guess you and your wife agree to the things you want in a new place. Hubby and I didn't really do much planning. When I encountered an ocean view, water adjacent place we could afford, I insisted he make an offer. You see, that water feature trumped everything else, within our financial means.Rosaria Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133147851332084180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-18628953164112947362016-10-14T08:22:09.661-04:002016-10-14T08:22:09.661-04:00That area looks pretty.

You really should go to the Wikipedia entry about New Hope (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Hope,_Pennsylvania) and look at the third photo down on the left which is of a WWII reunion at the train station. I just naturally compared it to the Times Square photo and decided that I like this one better. I wasted NO time in making that my desktop photo. My favorite author is from PA, but from the other side of the state. Her name is Margaret Deland.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-57855727926840571492016-10-13T13:05:10.081-04:002016-10-13T13:05:10.081-04:00This is just a days drive from me.
