OK. I'll admit it...I love New Jersey |
|
Yeah, the Turnpike sucks, yadda yadda. Ditto (sorry) most other major routes.
But, get off the beaten path, if you can-traffic doncha know- you'll discover why it's called The Garden State.
The Vineland area is surrounded by productive farmland. The famous Jersey Shore is now clean and free of offshore trash. Not exactly pristine, but, hey, 10 million people live within a 50 mile radius. NJDEP does it's best.
I could go on and on, but methinks NJ DUers are more qualified to fill in the blanks.
Hi y'all!

1. Years ago there used to be |
|
a really seedy truckstop at Paramus NJ. I used to pick up loads in King of Prussia. I never minded Jersey too much.
:hi:
are you waiting for a load there or just truckin' through?

Went to Drill Sergeant school at Fort Dix NJ. Best thing was seeing the "Leaving" sign in the rear view mirror (OK, so it was the "Entering" sign on the other side, but it just reinforced the blessed "Leaving" message on my side.)
Hey back :hi:
