You Know You're in South Jersey When?

If you want a flat, scenic, traffic free ride there are few places better than southern Jersey. There are a lot of scenic farmland and quiet back roads that are fun to explore. South Jersey is a little different than the rest of the state especially when you head to the more rural areas. In these areas the music tends to be country, the pickup trucks all have gun racks and there are too many guys still sporting mullets.

Although you will not see any signs telling you've entered South Jersey you can usually tell by the surroundings. With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy here are a few tips that you entered South Jersey.

You know you're in South Jersey when?:

• You see a gun club every couple of miles
• Every front yard contain either a rotted couch, rusted car, or a Jesus Saves sign
• The only stores you see are Wawas
• You see bumper stickers for Piney Power
• The only trees you see are pine trees
• All the vehicles are pickup trucks with tires taller than you
• The few cars you see have strange accessories (like the beer can hub cap above)

The strangeness of South Jersey may scary some people but for me it is just part of the fun of riding down there.
