Shades of Death Road

This is a nice cruise down the infamous Shades of Death Road in Independence, NJ. It runs along side Jenny Jump State Forest. IIRC the name dates back to the 1700s and some kind of malaria outbreak - if you consult the scholarly source Weird NJ the road is reputed to be haunted, and motorists claim to have been pursued by strange floating lights at night. Towards the beginning of the ride there's a huge onion farm on the right - North Jersey is good for onion farming because a glacier tore ass through several thousand years ago, leaving large swaths of flat land and rich black soil. Enjoy the ride!

@puccarocks99  Thought someone said it was an onion farm - is it a sod farm? Got lots of those around here too.
