Mark Di Ionno is a Jersey guy through and through. Hes lived in fifteen different towns in six different New Jersey counties. Hes been a journalist for the states top newspapers, currently the StarLedger, where his first job was to go out and write about things that were interesting. Who better to take readers on a personal tour of the backroads of New Jersey?In Backroads, New Jersey, Di Ionno leads readers off the congested interstates with their commonplace scenery to the seldomexplored secondary roads, where the real life of the state can be found. These intercounty or 500 series roads are a 6,788mile network of mostly onelane highways. Marked by blueandyellow fivesided shields bearing county names, they make up more than 20 percent of New Jerseys public roads. They are never the fastest or most direct way to get anywhere, but when you break out of the towns and hit the country, they are a pleasure to drive.Travel with Di Ionno as he takes readers to see the states amazing beautyfrom the dizzying cliffs of the Palisades, to the blunted peaks of the Highlands and Kittatinny Ridges, to the rolling hills of Morris, Hunterdon, and Somerset counties, to the topsoilwealthy agricultural belts of Monmouth and the southern counties, to the flat, sandy beaches of the 127mile Jersey Shore. Travel with him as he shows us the homes of New Jerseys culturally diverse population, whose men and women work at everything from farms to pharmacies, from banks to auto assembly lines. And travel with him as he recounts the history made along the back country roads in towns like Rocky Hill, where George Washington wrote his farewell orders. Di Ionno calls New Jersey a place of infinite natural beauty, a place of intricate human patterns. A place where you can see a lot in a little time. This is, simply put, the overriding theme of this book. New Jersey is a restless state for restless people. A state for wanderers to explore. Backroads, New Jersey is a rare chance to see it all through the eyes of a welltraveled Jerseyan. Happy wandering!
