I was born in Alabama and have lived in 10 different states. New Jersey was one of my favorites. It is really beautiful there. I lived in one of the westernmost counties, and when I drove the back roads, I wanted to stop at every curve in the road to take a picture. Country beauty, and yet only an hour to New York City. We had great health care and little or no crime. The only negative, and it is a big one, you can't afford to retire there.

Would that have been Hunterdon? I grew up there 5 minutes away from Round Valley reservoir, probably my favorite place on earth. Though that place is changing fast for the worse with hordes of immigrants pouring in. Much of the forests and farmlands are gone replaced with housing developments.

Yes, I was between Clinton and Flemington. Talk about living in a post card, it was beautiful. I really miss it. In the past few years the real estate has gotten so high that it would be almost impossible for us to go back.
