Twenty - Two



This weekend wasn't that exciting. Friday and Sunday was really just Michael and I loafing about. That is why there is no pictures of that. But Saturday while Michael was off in New York doing computer things, Veronica and I decided to go out . Though we truly wanted to go to parties, but College Ave was dead, so instead we went Weird NJing it. Where did we go....DUNDUNDUN....SHADES OF DEATH ROAD.

Yes that is really the name of a road in New Jersey. We drove an 1:22 drive from New Brunswick to Warren County (Aka, very north) to visit this gem of New Jersey roads. We had a very interesting drive, which we spent most of it on completely dark highways and completely dark rural roads. It was over all very bizarre. I have never traveled on such consistently dark roads for so long. It was almost like the moment we left New Brunswick we were covered in complete black. There were also barely any buildings, two of the few was a Farm Market in the middle of no-where and a really large really nice bank that was just on the side of the highway.
Theres were seriously two of the few things we saw in the dark before we reached the town.

Upon entered Great Meadows, the area of which SHADES OF DEATH ROAD is, things began to go...well..strange. I made a wrong turn, because Kate Moss(My gps system) was being a coked out hoe, and ended up on a really strange creepy rural road. Then Kate informed me to turn on Tranquil Farms Road, so....we thought..this shouldn't be so bad. WE WERE COMPLETELY WRONG. It lead me down this really tiny weird close to a ledge road. On one side of me was forest and corn and on the other side of me just a drop. I was honestly kind of scared. The road was too small for a K-Turn, so I was forced to keep going. Before I knew it I ended up in a farm that was in complete desary. It was creepy and old looking, and Veronica and I were pretty sure *we were going to die*. Veronica said later, "I was like, this is the perfect way to die. I'm on my way to SHADES OF DEATH ROAD, I end up in a creepy farm. This is totally the time for a man with an axe to come out." Finally realizing there was no way out forward, I made a very quick K-Turn and we got the fuck out. Yet Veronica and i realized a light was on in the beaten up house....we were trespassing on Private Property. So we GTFO.

The actually road was very strange a rickety in the middle of it there is this weird tree. It is surrounded by corn fields and deer. Once we got the picture, we drove as quickly and safely as possible.


In the end we comforted ourselves after our long tenuous journey with rainbow pops and late night talks. It was lovely but mildly horrifying night.
