Shawn,
Really great pictures, thanks for sharing them.
It always surprises me to see rural areas in the north east,
I don’t know why but it does. I guess I always thought of everything
in the east as continuous cities.

I visited a friend in western Mass. a few years ago and was very
surprised that he lived in an area that was probably more rural than
the brush country where I live in North CA. The only difference was we
stood on his back deck and could see into 3 states. from my deck you can’t
even see out of the county ;):slight_smile:

So how high is that high point you mention??

It seems that way a lot of times, especially traveling on I-95 from Richmond to Boston. A lot of Delaware, Southern New Jersey, and up there where Shawn lives are very scenic. It's part of the Appalachian Mountain Range, which extends from Georgia all the way into New England. Where I live, about 15 miles from I-95, just a few miles west of here are a lot of Amish farms with their windmlills, horse draw buggies, produce stands and Tobacco drying barns.

Good pictures, Shawn…:wink:

Thanks guys.
Rick that High Point isnt really high, especially to westerm standards. It marks the highest point in NJ at 1803ft. Of course about 60 miles to the north is the Catskill Mtns with slide mtn rising over 4000ft.

Andy I agree way too many people here Lol
