On occasion we get very different views of a road. A recent example is CR 539 in New Jersey. One rider made the comment that 539 is "Totally boring. Road never turns. Scrub pines after scrub pines.".
Recently, however, Don Eilenberger submitted comments in which he said that 539 "...is a singular beauty in heavily urban NJ". Don goes on to describe the beauty of the Pine Barrens of NJ including the Pygmy Pine Forest, an area where the pine trees never grow more than 4 foot high.
Don also provides some interesting information on towns along CR 539 such as Allentown, Warren Grove, and Tuckerton.
Don is a BMW-MOA Ambassador and belongs to the New Jersey Shore BMW Riders and the New Sweden BMW Riders. We thank Don for his commentary and information.
Note: I have ridden CR 539 a few times as a good road to get from the Trenton area to the South Jersey shore. Frankly I didn't pay that much attention to the scenery. The next time I ride CR 539 I will spend some time checking out Don's observations and recommendations.
