A Little About New Jersey

Yes, welcome to New Jersey -- and toll booths in every direction. It took us $30 to get our motorhome from Maryland to New Jersey and every time we go into Pennyslvania it is $4. Well, when in Rome do as the Roman's do, we just became a New Jersey EZ-Pass owner. Anytime we go through a toll booth we just scoot on through the EZ-Pass lane. Our pass is good in most states from Illinois to Maine and south to Virginia. Cool, huh!!! We pulled into our RV park and was greeted by the resident turkeys. They were fat and sassy. Wonder if they hide at Thanksgiving????
The park has a pond full of fish that as a resident you can fish -and some ducks too!. Every day the march across the street and go back to the pond for the night.
Where we are staying is only about 15 miles east of Philadephia Pennsylvania. This part of Jersey you will find a lot of farms and small towns. The are over 9,000 farms in the Garden State. You see some old barns too!


In the small towns you will find quaint little churches....
and houses made of stone....
or have a colonial flavor....
or, like this one, which says 1893 on it, some very old ones.
Many of the homes have multi-colored trim.
This man is painting his railing and talking on his cell phone -- at the same time!!!!
This used to be a church. It has the most unusual steeple I have ever seen - It is a metal grape leaves.
Every once and a while you find the ununusal house too -- actually it is billed as The Littlest Shop in the Village in Dennisville NJ.
