I try really hard to stay off the interstates and miss the big cities. That's really hard to do up here in the northeast. I thought I had a really good plan (one that took me from NJ into PA and then back into NJ), in order to miss the cities, traffic and interstates. Maybe two out of three isn't bad, but there is just noway to miss traffic just by skirting the cities. Even though I stayed mostly on county roads, there were still plenty of four lane roads, traffic lights, and of course traffic. Add to that the fact that it was quite hot today, and it made for a rather trying day at times. It wasn't all bad. I did find some really great county roads away from the cities that gave me some great riding and some good scenery. I have to admit, there were times when I didn't really think I was in NJ, because it didn't fit the mental picture I had. But even with that, I think I may have to try some different tactics for the next few days. I think I'll probably just ride the interstates through the cities and try to get thru them as quickly as possible in order to get to some better riding. We'll have to see how that works out. They are no real stories behind today's pictures. I just found them to be interesting. If you are interested, the car is for sale.
