Among New Jersey’s counties, Cape May, Warren, Hunterdon and Sussex are beautiful.
I lived in Hunterdon County after college (from the midwest). It was very nice. The first time driving down to Cape May we went south and then east avoiding the turnpike. It was unbelievable to me that here I was, in the most densely populated state.
Miles and miles and miles of farmland and horse farms. And then miles and miles of Pine Barrens.
Although 30 years ago, getting through Trenton was always a challenge. It seemed to be under perpetual roadway construction and detours. Never seemed to take the same route twice. Sometimes finding myself on city streets in not very inviting neighborhoods, getting lost, etc.
